The incident involved three vehicles: a dark Jeep Cherokee, a black Jeep SUV, and a red Honda sedan. The collision blocked the first two lanes, causing significant traffic delays during the early morning hours around 3:36 AM.
Emergency response teams promptly arrived at the scene to manage traffic and ensure safety. A tow truck was arranged for the black Jeep SUV and the red Honda sedan, while the dark Jeep Cherokee remained at the location. Debris from the vehicles was reported in the lanes, contributing to the congestion.
