A significant traffic collision occurred today on State Route 193 (SR-193) near Texas Canyon Road in Placerville, CA, resulting in a complete blockage of all lanes. The incident involved three vehicles: a Ford Ranger, a Honda Van, and an unidentified vehicle. The collision took place shortly after 10:30 AM, severely impacting traffic flow during the morning commute.
Due to the traffic incident, all lanes on SR-193 are currently closed, and there are no detour options available, leading to substantial delays and congestion in the area. Motorists are advised to seek alternate routes to avoid the affected stretch of highway.
