A traffic collision on Interstate 5 North (I-5 N) at the Del Paso Road off-ramp in Sacramento, CA, caused notable traffic disruptions today. The incident, which occurred around noon, involved four vehicles: a black Dodge four-door, a white Volkswagen Jetta, a gray Honda sedan, and another vehicle of unknown type.

As a result of the collision, two lanes on the off-ramp were blocked, prompting lane closures and active traffic management by emergency response units. While most vehicles were moved to the right shoulder, one vehicle remained obstructing a lane, contributing to delays and congestion in the area.

Emergency responders arrived quickly to manage the scene and facilitate the removal of the vehicles. A tow truck was dispatched to assist with the vehicle still blocking traffic. By approximately 1:00 PM, all vehicles had been successfully moved off the roadway, although traffic continued to experience delays as the situation was resolved.

Motorists are advised to anticipate potential backups in the area as traffic resumes normal flow. The California Highway Patrol is monitoring the situation to ensure safety for all drivers.

Drivers are encouraged to exercise caution and consider alternate routes to avoid any lingering congestion from this traffic incident.
