A traffic collision involving two vehicles occurred today at the intersection of Fulton Avenue and Hurley Way in Arden-Arcade, CA. The incident took place around 6:16 PM and involved a Honda Pilot and a Kia Soul. The collision was intensified by a power outage that rendered traffic signals inoperative, leading to significant traffic disruptions in the area.
Emergency response teams from the California Highway Patrol (CHP) promptly arrived at the scene to manage traffic flow and ensure safety. First responders established control of the intersection, implementing lane control measures to mitigate congestion caused by the traffic incident. A tow truck was called to assist with the removal of one of the vehicles involved.
As a result of the traffic collision and the malfunctioning signals, motorists experienced delays and backups, particularly during the evening commute. The CHP worked closely with local authorities to direct traffic and facilitate the clearing of the scene.
Drivers were advised to seek alternate routes to avoid the area until the situation was resolved. The CHP continued to monitor the intersection to ensure that traffic resumed smoothly once the vehicles were cleared and power was restored.
This traffic collision highlights the importance of caution at intersections, especially during power outages when traffic signals are not functioning.
