A traffic collision occurred today on Interstate 5 North in Montague, CA, involving three vehicles: a big rig, a black mini van, and a blue semi with a box trailer. The incident began at approximately 3:19 PM when the blue semi collided with a guardrail, blocking the second lane of traffic. Shortly thereafter, the big rig also struck the guardrail, further complicating the situation.
Emergency response teams swiftly arrived on the scene to manage the traffic incident. Several emergency traffic management units were deployed to secure the area and control the flow of vehicles. As a result of the collision, lane closures were implemented, leading to potential delays and congestion for motorists traveling through the area.
By 6:16 PM, one lane was reopened, allowing some traffic to resume. However, the earlier closures likely caused backups and delays for those commuting during the afternoon hours. A tow truck was requested to assist with the vehicles involved, but there is no information on whether any of the vehicles were towed or remained drivable.
Motorists are advised to exercise caution while navigating through this area, as traffic conditions may still be affected by the aftermath of this traffic collision.
