A traffic collision occurred today on U.S. Highway 50 at Randall Tract in Pollock Pines, CA, involving three vehicles: a white Ford Bronco, a blue semi truck, and another vehicle described as “white unknown.” The incident took place during the afternoon, leading to significant traffic disruptions.
Emergency services quickly arrived at the scene to manage traffic and ensure safety. Initially, one lane was closed, and one-way traffic control was implemented, resulting in delays and congestion for motorists traveling in both directions. Towing operations were initiated to remove the vehicles involved in the collision.
By mid-afternoon, emergency crews successfully lifted the traffic control measures, reopening both lanes of U.S. Highway 50. However, motorists were still advised to exercise caution as residual delays persisted due to the earlier backup. The California Highway Patrol coordinated the response, directing traffic and overseeing the removal of the vehicles.
Drivers are encouraged to remain vigilant and watch for any ongoing roadwork or emergency personnel in the area. This traffic incident serves as a reminder of the importance of safe driving practices, especially during busy travel times.
