A traffic collision occurred today on Highway 36 in Bridgeville, CA, leading to significant traffic disruptions. The incident involved a single vehicle, a white Chevrolet Tahoe, which went off the roadway and down an embankment, remaining upright. The collision was reported around 9:59 PM, prompting an immediate response from emergency services.
Due to the vehicle's location in a blind corner approximately 50 feet down the embankment, one lane of the highway was closed to facilitate recovery efforts. Police units and a designated traffic director were on-site to manage the flow of traffic and ensure safety for motorists navigating the area. As a result, drivers experienced delays and potential backups while the scene was being managed.
A tow truck was dispatched to the location to assist with the recovery of the vehicle. The situation was monitored closely by law enforcement to minimize traffic impact. Although one lane remained closed for a period, the emergency response team worked efficiently to clear the scene and restore normal traffic conditions.
Motorists traveling on Highway 36 should remain vigilant and expect some delays as the area is cleared. The California Highway Patrol is overseeing the situation to ensure the safe reopening of the roadway.
