A traffic incident occurred today at the intersection of North Shingle Road and Ponderosa Road in Shingle Springs, CA, involving three vehicles. The collision included a DHL truck that went off the roadway into a ditch and two 1997 model vehicles, one of which was reported to be on fire.
As a result of the incident, traffic management was implemented with one-way restrictions, leading to significant delays for motorists in the area. Emergency response teams were dispatched to the scene to manage traffic control and ensure safety. A tow truck was called to assist with the recovery of the vehicles, particularly the DHL truck and the vehicle experiencing fire.
Due to the need to drain a diesel tank before safe recovery could occur, one-way traffic conditions are expected to remain in place for an extended period. Motorists are advised to seek alternate routes to avoid congestion and delays in this area.
The California Highway Patrol is actively managing the scene to facilitate a safe and efficient resolution to the traffic incident. Drivers should remain cautious and adhere to the traffic control measures in place as the situation develops.
