A traffic crash on U.S.-131 just north of the Wayland exit (No. 64) forced closure of the northbound freeway Thursday evening, just at the start of the anticipated blizzard. All traffic was directed off the expressway at the exit No. 64. There was a semi-truck in ditch and a trailer in the road. The Wayland Fire Dept. was on the scene assisting Dorr Fire on the multi-vehicle accident.
The freeway north of Wayland was cleared and reopened to traffic.
About the same time Thursday night, there was a traffic crash (shown above) at the corner of the intersection in Monterey Center.
