Northbound Interstate 5 in San Joaquin County is facing some serious traffic delays this Tuesday morning, thanks to a collision that occurred near the Peltier Road on-ramp. Reported shortly before 6:20 a.m., the crash involves two big rigs, and the aftermath has turned the highway into a parking lot, with traffic stretching all the way toward Highway 12.
Crews are on the scene and expect to close the No. 2 lane for at least two hours as they work to manage the situation. With the California Highway Patrol logging this incident, drivers will want to brace themselves for a wait. After all, nothing sets the tone for a Tuesday morning quite like gridlock, right?
Whether you planned a quick trip or were heading to work, it looks like many are in for an unexpected detour. It’s a good reminder to keep our cool, stay patient, and maybe—just maybe—have a good podcast ready to tide us over while stuck in the car. Remember, though, being late is better than being the reason for the crash!
