A traffic collision involving two vehicles occurred today on Interstate 5 North (I-5 N) near Pocket Road in Sacramento, CA. The incident took place during the morning commute around 10:07 AM, involving a 2022 white Alfa Romeo and a silver Dodge Ram. The collision resulted in the Dodge Ram overturning, which blocked two middle lanes of the highway.
Emergency response units arrived promptly to manage the scene and direct traffic. While two lanes were obstructed, other lanes remained open, allowing some traffic to continue moving. The blockage caused delays for drivers in the area, particularly during the busy morning hours.
Tow trucks were dispatched to the scene to remove both vehicles, with the Alfa Romeo being towed shortly after 10:28 AM. By 10:53 AM, one lane remained blocked, but the majority of traffic was able to flow freely again as the situation was brought under control.
Motorists traveling through Sacramento should remain cautious and expect residual delays as the area is cleared. The California Highway Patrol worked efficiently to ensure the roadway was safe for travel once the vehicles were removed. This traffic incident serves as a reminder for all drivers to stay alert and drive safely, especially during peak travel times.
