A traffic collision on Interstate 5 South (I-5 S) in Lost Hills, CA, caused notable traffic disruptions today. The incident involved three vehicles: a semi truck positioned on the right shoulder, a grey sedan that spun out and ended up off the roadway against a fence, and a Honda Civic.
The collision occurred during the morning commute, leading to lane closures and restrictions in the area of the SR 46 off-ramp. As a result, drivers experienced delays and backups as emergency units responded to the scene to manage traffic and secure the area.
Multiple emergency response teams arrived promptly to address the situation, ensuring the roadway was cleared as quickly as possible. The semi truck remained off the main roadway, while the grey sedan's impact with roadside structures required a thorough assessment of the area.
Traffic conditions were affected for a significant period as crews worked to remove the vehicles and restore normal flow. Motorists traveling through this busy corridor were advised to expect congestion and to consider alternate routes if possible.
As the situation unfolded, a tow truck was called to assist with the removal of the Honda Civic. Emergency responders worked diligently to ensure that the area was safe for all travelers.
Drivers are encouraged to stay updated on traffic conditions and to exercise caution while navigating through the affected area.
