A traffic collision on State Route 4 East in Antioch, CA, caused significant disruptions during the early morning hours today. At approximately 2:11 AM, a Honda Odyssey was found on its side, blocking at least one lane and interfering with eastbound traffic. The California Highway Patrol responded promptly, deploying multiple units for scene control and traffic management.
As emergency responders worked to manage the situation, lane closures were implemented, leading to potential delays for motorists. The vehicle was towed from the scene around 3:17 AM, allowing for the gradual reopening of lanes. However, the initial blockage created backups that affected traffic flow in the area.
The California Department of Transportation was notified to assist with traffic control measures, ensuring that drivers were safely redirected while the scene was being cleared. The swift response from the CHP helped to minimize the impact on traffic as the situation was resolved.
Motorists traveling on State Route 4 East near Laurel Road should remain cautious and expect residual delays as traffic returns to normal. This incident serves as a reminder to stay alert and drive safely, especially during early morning hours when visibility may be reduced.
