A traffic collision on State Route 299 near Rock Creek Road in Shasta, CA, has caused significant traffic disruptions today. The incident, which occurred around noon, involved one vehicle—a trailer that tipped over on the embankment, spilling its load across the roadway.
Emergency services responded quickly to manage the situation and ensure the safety of motorists. Initially, both eastbound lanes were partially blocked due to debris, leading to delays for drivers in the area. As crews worked to clear the scene, all lanes were closed temporarily, resulting in increased congestion.
By approximately 12:33 PM, emergency responders successfully cleared the roadway, allowing traffic to resume in one lane while cleanup continued. The roadway was reported as fully open shortly thereafter, alleviating the traffic backup that had developed during the incident.
Motorists traveling on State Route 299 should remain cautious and alert for any residual debris as cleanup efforts conclude. This traffic incident highlights the importance of safe driving practices, especially in areas where road conditions may be affected by accidents.
