A traffic collision involving two vehicles occurred today on U.S. Route 199 in Gasquet, CA, leading to significant traffic disruptions during the morning commute. The incident, which took place around 8:54 AM, involved an overturned box truck and a solo vehicle. The box truck, loaded with approximately 25,000 pounds of cargo, was rendered non-drivable and blocked the southbound lane completely while partially obstructing the northbound lane.
