[03-12-2025] – Significant Traffic Delays on I-5 Due to Collision in Lakehead

Lakehead, CA – A traffic accident on Interstate 5 (I-5) in Lakehead, California, led to considerable disruptions in traffic. The incident took place around 4:01 PM when a white Toyota, a solo vehicle, lost control and spun out on the bridge, eventually stopping in the northbound lanes.

In response to the collision, multiple lane closures were put in place, causing delays and congestion for motorists in the vicinity. Traffic management teams were quickly dispatched to secure the area and help direct vehicles around the obstruction.

The involvement of recovery units indicated that the vehicle was not drivable and required towing, further complicating the traffic situation. Emergency responders worked diligently to manage the scene, ensuring that traffic was safely redirected while they removed the vehicle from the road.

A tow truck was subsequently called to aid in clearing the area, which contributed to easing some of the traffic backups. Motorists are advised to stay alert while passing through this location and to anticipate possible delays as recovery efforts are ongoing.

This incident serves as a reminder of the critical importance of safe driving, especially during adverse weather conditions, which can often lead to loss of control of vehicles.
