A traffic collision involving two vehicles, a GMC and a grey Buick Enclave, occurred today at the intersection of San Juan Grade Road and Bear Creek Court in Salinas, CA. The incident was reported at approximately 9:07 PM, leading to significant traffic disruptions in the area.

Debris from the collision, including a tire and axle, was scattered across the road, blocking both lanes and causing considerable congestion for evening commuters. Tow trucks were dispatched to remove the vehicles, with one arriving shortly after the initial report to assist with the GMC, while another was called to handle the Buick Enclave.
