A significant traffic collision involving two heavy vehicles occurred today on the northbound lanes of U.S. Highway 101 in Laytonville, CA. The incident involved a big rig with a container attached, which blocked the northbound lanes and caused traffic to be diverted into the southbound lane during the busy morning commute.
Emergency services responded quickly to the scene, deploying units to manage traffic and establish lane closures. As a result, motorists experienced delays and congestion as they navigated the altered traffic patterns. The northbound lanes remain blocked while authorities work to set up a hard closure to ensure safety and facilitate the removal of the vehicles involved.
A tow truck has been called to assist with clearing the scene, and additional heavy vehicles are en route to help with the recovery process. Drivers are advised to expect significant backup in the area and to consider alternate routes to avoid delays.
This traffic incident underscores the importance of caution when driving in heavy traffic conditions, particularly when large vehicles are involved. Updates will be provided as the situation develops and road conditions improve.
