A traffic collision on State Route 99 North in Fresno, CA, caused significant traffic disruptions today. The incident, involving four vehicles, occurred at approximately 3:40 AM, leading to lane closures, particularly on the Clinton Avenue off-ramp. Emergency response units quickly arrived to manage the situation and control traffic flow.
One vehicle, described as a black sedan, was towed from the scene, while the other vehicles remained at the location or were managed in place.
