A significant traffic collision occurred today on U.S. Highway 395 near Conway Summit in Bridgeport, CA, causing major disruptions during the early morning hours. The incident involved two vehicles: a tractor trailer and another vehicle. The collision was reported at approximately 2:02 AM, with the tractor trailer overturning and blocking lane #2 completely, leading to substantial traffic delays and congestion.
Emergency response units from the California Highway Patrol were dispatched to the scene shortly after the incident was reported. The tractor trailer, weighing around 41,000 pounds, was initially on its side, prompting the closure of lane #2. Traffic management efforts were implemented to alleviate the backup, which affected the morning commute for many drivers.
By 5:30 AM, the tractor trailer had been moved to the right-hand side of the southbound lanes, but lane #2 remained closed for cleanup operations. Motorists were advised to expect delays as crews worked to clear the scene and restore normal traffic flow. It was anticipated that traffic would resume normal conditions by approximately 10:00 AM.
Travelers are encouraged to remain cautious in the area as cleanup continues and to seek alternate routes if possible to avoid congestion.
