A traffic collision occurred today on Alisal Road in Salinas, CA, involving a single vehicle, a red Dog Ram 3500. The incident was reported at approximately 5:28 AM, leading to significant traffic disruptions during the morning commute.
Emergency response units quickly arrived at the scene to secure the area and manage traffic flow. Initially, Alisal Road was blocked in both directions, causing delays for drivers. To facilitate the recovery of the disabled vehicle, one lane was later opened for one-way traffic control, allowing some vehicles to pass while recovery operations were underway.
A tow truck was dispatched to assist in removing the vehicle from the ditch where it had come to rest after the collision. Traffic management was prioritized, with multiple units deployed to ensure safety and minimize congestion.
