A traffic collision on State Route 113 in Dixon, CA, caused significant disruptions today. The incident, which occurred around 4:05 PM, involved two vehicles, including a Dodge Charger that became fully submerged approximately 30 feet under water, about 30 to 40 feet from the road. Emergency services responded promptly, implementing traffic control measures that included lane closures to manage the situation effectively.
As the afternoon progressed, a tow truck was called to the scene to assist with the recovery of the submerged vehicle. However, due to challenging conditions and diminishing daylight, the towing operation was postponed until the following morning. The other vehicle involved in the collision was reported to be drivable, which helped minimize further complications.
Motorists traveling along State Route 113 experienced delays and potential backups as emergency responders worked to secure the area and manage traffic flow. The lane closures contributed to congestion, particularly during the busy afternoon commute. Authorities advised drivers to seek alternate routes to avoid the affected area.
Traffic management units remained on-site to ensure safety and facilitate the towing process. The situation is expected to be resolved by tomorrow morning when the tow truck returns to retrieve the submerged Dodge Charger. Drivers are encouraged to stay informed about traffic conditions in Dixon, CA, as recovery efforts continue.
