A traffic collision involving two vehicles—a semi truck and a pickup truck pulling a travel trailer—occurred today at the intersection of State Route 41 North and East Central Avenue in Fresno, CA. The incident took place around 2:17 PM, resulting in debris on the roadway and prompting temporary lane closures.
Emergency traffic management units responded promptly to the scene to control traffic flow and ensure the safety of other motorists. As a result of the collision, significant traffic delays and congestion were reported in the area, impacting afternoon travel for many drivers.
