A traffic collision occurred today at the intersection of State Route 46 and Hopper Canyon Road in Shandon, CA, involving two vehicles: a big rig and a trailer. The incident was reported early in the morning, around 3:00 AM, leading to significant traffic impacts due to lane closures and debris on the roadway.
The trailer, which was in poor condition, was missing three wheels and had damaged towing equipment, rendering it undriveable. A tow truck was requested to assist with the removal of the trailer, which may require specialized equipment. The big rig was operational but had clipped the trailer on the shoulder of the road.
Emergency services responded promptly, deploying multiple units to manage traffic and secure the scene. One lane was closed, resulting in potential delays for motorists traveling through this section of State Route 46. The presence of debris further complicated road conditions, contributing to possible congestion in the area.
Drivers are advised to exercise caution and consider alternate routes while crews work to clear the scene and restore normal traffic flow. Updates on the situation will be provided as more information becomes available.
