A significant traffic collision occurred today on State Route 96 in Siskiyou County, CA, leading to major disruptions in traffic flow. The incident involved four vehicles: a solo vehicle, a semi-truck with an unknown type tanker, a tractor that was not visible from the roadway, and another vehicle identified as tank 1125.
Emergency response teams quickly arrived at the scene to manage the situation. Debris was scattered across the roadway, resulting in complete lane closures and significant traffic delays. As emergency units worked to clear the area, they established safe conditions to control traffic flow and minimize congestion.
The collision took place during the late afternoon, causing a complete blockage of the roadway and leading to backups for motorists. A heavy-duty tow truck was called to assist with the removal of the vehicles involved, particularly the semi-truck that had rolled over and was positioned off the embankment.
Drivers are advised to seek alternate routes to avoid the area until the situation is fully resolved. Emergency responders continue to work diligently to clear the debris and reopen the lanes, but delays are expected to persist as they manage the aftermath of this traffic incident.
