A traffic collision on State Route 99 North in Earlimart, CA, caused significant disruptions during the morning commute today. The incident involved two vehicles: one that rolled over but was able to return to its wheels and another, a white Ford F350 pickup with a trailer, which was pulled to the right-hand side of the road.
Emergency services arrived promptly to manage the scene and coordinate traffic control. Initially, traffic was able to move in the center and slow lanes, but as the situation progressed, two lanes were blocked due to the overturned vehicle. This led to delays and congestion for motorists traveling in both directions.
Tow trucks were called to assist with the removal of the overturned vehicle, and lane closures were implemented to facilitate this process. As a result, drivers experienced backups and were advised to seek alternate routes to avoid further delays.
The California Highway Patrol worked diligently to restore normal traffic flow, ensuring the safety of all road users. As the incident unfolded, additional traffic incidents were reported in the vicinity, complicating travel for commuters. Motorists are encouraged to remain cautious and patient while navigating through the affected areas of State Route 99.
