A significant traffic collision occurred today on State Route 14 North near Puritan Mine Road in Acton, CA, leading to considerable traffic disruptions. The incident involved three vehicles: a blue and white semi truck, a gray pickup truck, and a dump truck located on the left shoulder of the roadway.
Emergency services responded quickly, deploying multiple units to manage the scene and control traffic flow. Due to the collision, lane closures were implemented, affecting both the High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane and lane one. This resulted in delays and congestion for motorists traveling through the area.
At least one vehicle was towed from the scene, while another was in the process of being hooked up for removal. The California Highway Patrol issued a SigAlert, warning drivers of the expected lane closures for approximately one hour, which contributed to the traffic backup.
As the afternoon progressed, emergency responders worked diligently to clear the roadway, and the SigAlert was eventually canceled once the scene was deemed safe. Motorists are advised to remain cautious and expect residual delays in the area as traffic returns to normal.
Drivers are encouraged to seek alternate routes to avoid congestion caused by this traffic incident on State Route 14 North in Acton, CA.
