A traffic collision involving two vehicles occurred today on State Route 28 in Carnelian Bay, CA. The incident took place at approximately 1:47 PM and involved a white GMC Terrain and a gray Toyota. The GMC Terrain experienced mechanical issues, which rendered it unable to move from the roadway, while the Toyota was presumed drivable.
Due to the traffic incident, westbound traffic faced significant disruptions. California Highway Patrol (CHP) units were dispatched to the scene to manage traffic flow and ensure safety. To alleviate congestion, officers directed vehicles through a center left turn lane, which temporarily impacted normal traffic patterns.
A tow truck was called to assist with the GMC Terrain, which was indicated for towing. The roadway remained partially closed as emergency responders worked to clear the scene and manage the traffic backup. By approximately 3:08 PM, the roadway was reopened, allowing traffic to resume its normal flow.
Motorists in the area experienced delays during the afternoon commute, and CHP units remained on-site to oversee the situation until it was fully resolved. Drivers are encouraged to stay alert and follow any traffic updates related to this incident, as well as to drive safely in changing road conditions.
