A traffic collision on State Route 160 North in Sacramento, CA, has resulted in significant traffic disruptions today. The incident occurred around 11:43 PM and involved two vehicles, one of which was still running at the scene. A fallen light pole has completely obstructed part of the roadway, leading to lane closures on the northbound side.

Emergency response units quickly arrived to manage the situation and control traffic flow. The fallen light pole, which was sheared at the base, blocked the Arden Way off-ramp, creating a backup for vehicles navigating the area. Motorists are advised to expect delays and congestion as crews work to clear the scene and restore normal traffic conditions.

As of now, all lanes have been reported open, but earlier traffic backups were significant due to the collision and subsequent road blockage. A tow truck was called to assist with the removal of the vehicles involved. Drivers are encouraged to seek alternate routes to avoid potential delays in this area.

This traffic incident highlights the importance of remaining vigilant while driving, especially in areas with ongoing emergency responses. Stay tuned for further updates regarding traffic conditions in Sacramento, CA.
