A traffic collision on State Route 2 (SR-2) in Mile High, CA, has resulted in significant traffic disruptions today. The incident occurred around 1:42 PM and involved a single vehicle, a dark grey Honda Fit, which collided with a rock and became precariously positioned near a cliff edge.
Emergency responders quickly arrived at the scene to stabilize the vehicle and prevent it from rolling off the cliff. Due to the vehicle's position and a spill on the roadway, lanes on SR-2 were blocked, leading to traffic restrictions and delays for motorists in the area.
A tow truck was dispatched to assist in safely removing the vehicle, arriving shortly after 2 PM. Crews worked diligently to clear the scene and restore normal traffic flow. Additionally, Caltrans was requested to address oil on the roadway, which may have been related to the traffic incident, further contributing to the congestion.
Motorists are advised to seek alternate routes to avoid delays on State Route 2, especially during the afternoon commute. The situation is being monitored, and updates will be provided as the scene is cleared and traffic conditions improve.
