INJURED IN AN ACCIDENT?

[03-31-2025] Nevada County, CA – Multiple Big Rigs Spin Out, Temporarily Closing Westbound I-80 Near Nevada State Line

Multiple big rigs spun out, causing temporary closures on westbound Interstate 80 near the Nevada State Line in Truckee, Nevada County, on Monday afternoon, March 31, 2025.

According to the California Highway Patrol traffic logs, the incident occurred near the Central Truckee off-ramp at approximately 4:26 p.m.

Traffic was completely stopped on westbound I-80, as seen on a Caltrans camera in Truckee.

Caltrans reported that chains are required on all vehicles except four-wheel-drive vehicles with snow tires between the Nevada State Line and Nyack in Placer County in both directions.

The roadway has since reopened, but drivers are advised to proceed with caution due to icy conditions.

No injuries have been reported at this time. An investigation into the cause of the spinouts is ongoing.

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.

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.
