A traffic collision occurred today at approximately 12:48 PM on State Route 65 near Sherwood Avenue in Kern County, CA. The incident involved two vehicles: a semi truck with a trailer loaded with gravel and a white Dodge Ram pickup truck. The Dodge Ram sustained front-end damage and was positioned on the right-hand side of the roadway.
The collision resulted in a significant amount of gravel spilling onto the roadway, which disrupted traffic flow. Emergency services quickly responded to the scene to manage the situation.
