A traffic collision on Pew Road at Soto Ranch Road in Needles, CA, has caused significant traffic disruptions today. The incident involved two vehicles: a disabled vehicle that collided with a hillside and a tow truck that is currently engaged in recovery operations. A second tow truck has also arrived to assist with the recovery.
Due to the collision, the southbound lane is completely shut down, resulting in considerable traffic delays. The northbound lane is open but is experiencing alternating traffic flow, which is contributing to congestion in the area. Emergency response units are on the scene to manage traffic and ensure safety while recovery efforts are underway.
Motorists are advised to expect backups and plan for extended travel times as the recovery operation continues. The recovery of the disabled vehicle is anticipated to take some time, with both lanes affected during this process. Drivers are encouraged to seek alternative routes to avoid the traffic incident.
This traffic collision underscores the importance of exercising caution on the roads, particularly during recovery operations. Updates will be provided as the situation evolves and the lanes are cleared for normal traffic flow.
