A traffic collision involving two vehicles occurred today on State Route 41 South at the Herndon Avenue East on-ramp in Fresno, CA. The incident was reported at approximately 5:10 PM, leading to significant traffic disruptions as one vehicle, described as an older red Toyota, blocked three lanes of traffic. This obstruction caused delays and congestion for drivers during the busy evening commute.
Emergency response units from the California Highway Patrol (CHP) quickly arrived at the scene to manage the situation and ensure safety. A tow truck was called to remove the vehicle that was blocking the lanes, while the status of the second vehicle involved was not detailed.
