A traffic collision on State Route 156 at Castroville Boulevard in Castroville, CA, caused significant traffic disruptions today during the afternoon hours. The incident involved four vehicles: a red Ford Expedition, a blue Nissan Altima, a black Toyota Avalon, and a red Chevrolet Tahoe.
Emergency response teams arrived promptly to manage the situation. The westbound lane of State Route 156 was closed to facilitate the repositioning of the vehicles, which were moved to the right-hand side of the roadway. This closure resulted in delays for drivers navigating through the area, contributing to congestion during peak traffic times.
Multiple emergency units were dispatched to oversee traffic management and ensure the safe clearing of the scene. A tow truck was called to assist with the removal of the vehicles involved in the collision.
As the situation was resolved, traffic began to flow more smoothly, although motorists were advised to remain cautious due to potential residual delays. Authorities recommend that drivers stay alert and prepared for possible backups as normal traffic patterns resume.
This traffic incident underscores the importance of safe driving and the effectiveness of emergency response in managing road incidents efficiently.
