A significant traffic collision occurred today on State Route 58 in Keene, CA, involving two large vehicles: a big rig that overturned onto its side and a semi-truck that flipped over. The incident was reported around 3:48 PM, leading to the complete closure of all westbound lanes, which caused major traffic backup in the area.
Emergency services promptly arrived at the scene to manage traffic and ensure safety. Multiple units were deployed to direct vehicles and facilitate the flow of traffic. As the situation progressed, one lane was eventually reopened, but significant congestion remained as traffic was funneled into a single lane near the Keene Bridge.
The response team also coordinated with environmental services due to potential hazards from the overturned vehicles. Traffic conditions continued to be challenging throughout the afternoon, with backups reported extending into the left blind curve at Broome Pass. Motorists are advised to seek alternate routes to avoid delays as cleanup efforts are ongoing.
This traffic incident underscores the importance of safe driving practices, especially in adverse conditions. Drivers are encouraged to remain alert and patient while navigating through affected areas. For real-time updates on traffic conditions, please check local traffic reports.
