Original Post at 4:32pm: Sonora, CA — Expect very slow-and-go traffic on Highway 108 as units respond for a two-vehicle accident with injuries just east of Pine Acres Road below Confidence.
An air ambulance is among the responding units. The collision, reportedly a black Ford Explorer versus a white Subaru, is partially blocking the road. A responding tow truck is stuck in traffic.
If possible you will want to avoid the area or use an alternate route. The CHP is on scene doing one-way traffic control.
