A significant traffic collision occurred today on State Route 299 in Redding, CA, involving three vehicles: a white SUV, a gray Subaru, and a black sedan. The incident took place around 5:05 PM, leading to the closure of all lanes and causing substantial traffic backup in both directions.
Emergency services responded quickly, dispatching multiple units to secure the scene and manage traffic flow. All vehicles involved in the collision were rendered undriveable and required towing. As a result, motorists faced considerable delays and congestion during the evening commute.
Witnesses reported that the gray Honda Civic was turning when it was struck by the SUV, which then collided with another vehicle in the opposing lane. This chain reaction further complicated the traffic situation, especially as it followed another traffic incident that had occurred in the same area earlier.
Traffic was significantly impacted as emergency responders worked to clear the scene and restore normal flow. Motorists are advised to seek alternate routes to avoid delays and congestion in the area until the situation is fully resolved.
