A traffic collision involving a bucket truck occurred today on the southbound lanes of State Route 79 near Lake Cuyamaca in Julian, CA. The incident took place around 10:35 AM and resulted in a partial blockage of both the southbound lane and an adjacent section of the northbound lane.
The utility vehicle, operated by a contractor company, collided with an embankment and was able to self-extricate. As a result, traffic flow was disrupted, leading to potential delays for motorists during the morning commute. The California Highway Patrol (CHP) quickly responded to the scene to manage traffic and secure the area.
A tow truck was requested by the vehicle's owner, and emergency responders worked diligently to clear the scene. The CHP's presence helped to alleviate congestion and ensure the safety of all drivers in the vicinity.
Motorists traveling on State Route 79 should be aware of possible backups and plan for additional travel time as the situation is resolved. The CHP will continue to monitor the area until the roadway is fully cleared. Stay tuned for updates on traffic conditions as they develop.
