A traffic collision involving two vehicles occurred today at the intersection of Salinas Road and Lewis Road in Monterey County, CA. The incident was reported around 7:08 AM and involved a black Hyundai sedan that was rendered non-drivable and a white sedan, possibly a Volkswagen.

Emergency services promptly arrived at the scene to manage traffic and control the area. As a result, the southbound lanes of Salinas Road experienced lane closures, leading to significant traffic delays and congestion for motorists during the busy morning commute.

A tow truck was dispatched to remove the black Hyundai from the scene, while the status of the white sedan remains unclear. The lane closures affected not only the immediate area but also created backups in adjacent locations, prompting drivers to seek alternate routes to avoid delays.

Authorities are actively working to restore normal traffic flow as quickly as possible. Motorists are advised to exercise caution while navigating through the area and to stay updated on traffic conditions. Further updates regarding the traffic incident will be provided as they become available.
