A traffic collision on Interstate 80 East in Albany, CA, caused notable disruptions today during the morning commute. The incident involved four vehicles, including a grey Ford Edge, a red SUV, and a black Suburban. The grey Ford Edge was rendered non-drivable and required towing from the scene.
Initially, the right lane was blocked, leading to delays and congestion for drivers in the area. The California Highway Patrol (CHP) responded quickly, providing scene control and managing traffic flow throughout the incident.

The Buchanan Street off-ramp was temporarily closed to facilitate the towing of the grey Ford Edge, but this was a brief interruption in overall traffic flow. The CHP's efficient management helped minimize the impact on the morning commute, ensuring that drivers could navigate the area safely.
Motorists are encouraged to remain cautious and aware of their surroundings, especially in areas where traffic incidents have occurred. The CHP continues to monitor the situation to maintain road safety and efficiency for all travelers.
