I-5 Southbound Cleared Following Semi-Truck Collision
BAKERSFIELD, CA (March 27, 2024) — Early Tuesday morning, a collision between two semi-trucks momentarily disrupted traffic on southbound Interstate 5, authorities confirmed. The incident, which took place near Fort Tejon, resulted in no injuries but left both vehicles incapacitated, necessitating the temporary closure of the highway’s two right lanes.
The California Highway Patrol (CHP) has since reopened all lanes to traffic, ensuring a return to normal flow. In the wake of the I-5 semi-truck collision, CHP officials are advising drivers to exercise caution, particularly during early morning commutes. A key warning issued urges motorists to avoid abrupt lane changes, a common cause of additional incidents and subsequent traffic congestion.
