The incident, which took place around 12:40 AM, involved a black Mercedes sedan and a red Lexus SC200. The collision occurred in a construction zone where the roadway was narrowed from two lanes to one, contributing to the traffic disruption.

The California Highway Patrol was on-site to assist with traffic management and to facilitate the clearing of the roadway.
Drivers traveling through this section of U.S. Highway 50 should remain cautious and expect potential backups as crews work to restore normal traffic flow. The construction zone, already limiting lane availability, added to the challenges faced by drivers in the early morning hours.
