A major traffic collision involving seven vehicles occurred today on Interstate 80 East near Raley Boulevard in Sacramento, CA. The incident took place around 2:00 PM and has resulted in significant lane closures, causing traffic delays for motorists in the area.
Among the vehicles involved in the collision were a white BMW that was reported on its side, a red Tesla, a gray Hyundai Elantra, a white Subaru, and an unspecified upside-down vehicle, along with an invalid white Volvo truck. The presence of multiple vehicles has led to a substantial backup, affecting the flow of traffic during the busy afternoon hours.
Emergency response teams, including units from the California Highway Patrol, arrived quickly to manage the scene. They worked to direct traffic and clear the wreckage, but the collision has created ongoing congestion. As of now, there is no estimated time for the reopening of the affected lanes, and drivers are advised to seek alternate routes to avoid further delays.
The California Highway Patrol has issued a signal alert for the eastbound lanes of Interstate 80, just west of Raley Boulevard, due to the ongoing traffic incident.
