Sonora, CA — The icy roads are creating traffic issues in the Mother Lode this morning.
Tuolumne County:
The CHP reports that Jamestown Road, near Mt. Brow Road, will be closed for several hours due to a big rig crash. It happened at around 5:30am and is blocking both traffic lanes. No injuries were reported.
A vehicle has gotten stuck on Big Hill Road near Shale Rock Road. A tow truck is responding to the area, but it is anticipated to face challenges in reaching the vehicle due to ice.
A delivery truck became stuck in the snow, and then hit a power pole trying to get out of the situation, on Joaquin Gully Road in Twain Harte. There are now power lines on the ground, and PG&E has been alerted to the situation.
