A traffic collision on Watsonville Road in Gilroy, CA, caused significant disruptions today during the morning commute. The incident involved two vehicles: a white big rig hauling dirt that ended up in a ditch and another vehicle that rolled over.
As a result of the collision, one southbound lane was closed, leading to one-way traffic control to manage the flow of vehicles around the scene. The California Highway Patrol (CHP) responded promptly, overseeing the situation and coordinating the necessary towing services. A heavy-duty tow truck was dispatched to assist with the removal of the big rig, while the other vehicle was released after the driver arranged for their own transport.
Motorists traveling along Watsonville Road experienced delays and potential backups due to the lane closure. The CHP worked diligently to minimize congestion and ensure safety for all drivers.
This traffic incident underscores the importance of caution while driving, especially in areas where large vehicles are present. The CHP continues to monitor the situation and will provide updates as necessary to facilitate the safe clearance of the roadway.
