A traffic collision occurred this morning at the intersection of Cooper Road and Nashua Road in Salinas, CA, resulting in significant traffic disruptions. The incident involved one vehicle, a Kia sedan, which sustained front-end damage and required towing services. Debris from the collision was scattered across the roadway, prompting emergency response teams to manage the scene and ensure safe traffic flow.
At approximately 7:43 AM, reports of debris in the roadway led to the deployment of multiple units to control the situation.
