A traffic collision on northbound Interstate 5 (I-5) at Manning Avenue in Firebaugh, CA, caused significant traffic disruptions this morning. The incident involved four vehicles, including a semi truck and a rental vehicle, which required immediate lane closures and traffic management.
At approximately 7:46 AM, California Highway Patrol (CHP) units arrived at the scene to assess the situation. A vehicle with front-end damage was designated for towing to Richmond, while the semi truck and other vehicles remained under CHP control as they worked to clear the area.
The traffic incident resulted in delays and congestion during the busy morning commute, prompting officers to implement traffic management strategies to minimize backup. As the situation developed, towing services were called to assist with the removal of the damaged vehicle.
Motorists are advised to seek alternate routes to avoid potential delays on northbound I-5. The CHP continues to monitor the scene and manage traffic flow to restore normal driving conditions as quickly as possible.
Drivers should remain cautious and expect ongoing traffic adjustments in the area until the incident is fully resolved.
