![[08-28-2025] Two Vehicle Collisions Cause Traffic Delays on SR‑44 Near Auditorium Drive in Redding](https://ak1.to//85sW.webp)
Commuters experienced traffic delays Thursday morning on westbound State Route 44 near Auditorium Drive in Redding due to two separate collisions, August 28, 2025.
According to the California Highway Patrol, the first crash occurred around 8:07 a.m. and involved at least two vehicles, including a red sedan and a white sedan.
One vehicle leaked an unknown fluid, forcing drivers to pass on the right shoulder while lanes were blocked. Emergency responders arrived promptly, and by 8:26 a.m., one lane had reopened.
A second collision was reported at approximately 8:47 a.m. on the bridge over the Sacramento River. Both vehicles were moved to the right shoulder, and tow services were called to clear the scene.
No injuries were reported in either incident. Authorities continue to monitor traffic and investigate the collisions.
Don’t Know What To Do After An Accident?
Your safety and rights depend on what you do next after an accident. Remember the following steps if you find yourself in one:
- Check yourself for any injuries.
- Stay on the scene, call 9-1-1, and wait for emergency responders.
- Move your vehicle to the road shoulder if safe; turn on hazard lights.
- Fully cooperate with law enforcement and stay until cleared to leave.
- Document the scene and injuries with photos and videos.
- Seek immediate medical attention.
- Contact your insurance company and find a personal injury lawyer for legal advice.
What A Lawyer Can Do For You
Many victims put off calling a lawyer even if they sustain injuries after an accident. However, lawyers can help you in many ways. They can provide you with police reports, CCTV footage, and witness statements to strengthen your case. Your attorney will also negotiate with insurance companies to get you fair compensation. The best part is that they will do all of these things for you at no upfront cost. So if you’re injured in an accident, hire a personal injury attorney to recover medical bills, car repair costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
