A traffic collision on Interstate 5 (I-5) in Sacramento, CA, caused significant disruptions during the early morning hours today. At approximately 4:06 AM, a Kia vehicle collided with the right-hand guardrail, leading to lane blockages and slow lane conditions on northbound I-5 near Del Paso Road.

Emergency response units quickly arrived at the scene to manage traffic and control the situation. The Kia was found facing westward, partially obstructing the slow lane and right-hand shoulder. As a result, drivers experienced delays and congestion in the area, impacting the morning commute for many.

A tow truck was dispatched to remove the vehicle, which was successfully towed and stored by the responding department by around 4:38 AM. The removal of the Kia allowed for the gradual reopening of the affected lanes, easing traffic flow.

Motorists traveling on northbound I-5 are advised to remain cautious, as residual traffic may linger due to the earlier incident. Authorities recommend seeking alternate routes to avoid further delays. This traffic incident highlights the importance of safe driving practices, particularly during early morning hours when visibility can be reduced. Stay tuned for updates on traffic conditions as the situation develops.
