A four-vehicle crash involving a tow truck caused major traffic delays during Monday evening's commute on State Route 125 near Jamacha Road, sending one person to the hospital with minor injuries.

The collision occurred at approximately 5:04 p.m. on Monday, July 13, 2026, on northbound SR-125 near Jamacha Road.

According to witnesses at the scene, the tow truck driver was observed swerving prior to the collision, and distracted driving may have been a contributing factor.

Preliminary information indicates the tow truck rear-ended another vehicle, triggering a chain-reaction crash involving three additional vehicles.

One person was transported to a local hospital with minor injuries. The extent of the other occupants' injuries, if any, was not immediately known.

The collision backed up traffic for miles during the evening rush hour, with delays extending northbound to Interstate 8 as crews worked to clear the scene.

The cause of the crash remains under investigation.
