A traffic collision on State Route 49 at Quarry Road in Auburn, CA, caused significant traffic disruptions today. The incident involved one vehicle, which remained at the scene, leading to the closure of the southbound lanes. This closure resulted in traffic delays for motorists traveling through the area during the evening hours.
California Highway Patrol (CHP) responded quickly to the scene, managing traffic and ensuring safety for all drivers. The agency coordinated with State Parks to maintain order while the situation was being addressed. Although the vehicle did not require towing, the presence of emergency personnel and the lane closures contributed to congestion on State Route 49.
