A traffic collision involving four vehicles occurred today at the intersection of Fair Oaks Boulevard and Woodmore Oaks Drive in Orangevale, CA. The incident took place around 5:48 PM and involved a silver Chrysler Town and Country, a silver Honda Civic that was unable to be driven, a gray Chrysler van, and an unspecified white vehicle.

By 6:23 PM, emergency personnel were actively working to clear the roadway, and by 6:45 PM, the area was reported to be clear of any obstructions. However, the initial blockage caused congestion for motorists during the evening rush hour.

This traffic incident underscores the importance of safe driving practices and the role of emergency responders in maintaining roadway safety.
