A traffic collision on Interstate 5 (I-5) in Red Bluff, CA, has caused significant disruptions to traffic flow today. The incident, which involved two vehicles, occurred near the Red Bluff Rest Area around 1:02 PM. One of the vehicles, a Landcruiser, sustained front-end damage but is drivable and will be towed following an assessment by a tow company.
Emergency units were dispatched to the scene to manage traffic and ensure safety. Lane restrictions were implemented, particularly affecting CPZ Lane 13 and Corridor Line 7 in the work zone, leading to noticeable delays and congestion for drivers in the area.
As responders worked to control the situation, the Landcruiser was found approximately 150 feet off the roadway on a hill, complicating the towing process. Motorists are advised to avoid the area if possible and to expect backups as crews work to clear the scene.
The situation remains active, and drivers should stay alert for changing conditions and additional emergency vehicles in the vicinity. Commuters traveling through Red Bluff, CA, are encouraged to seek alternate routes to minimize delays during this traffic incident.
