Fort Tejon, CA – A multi-vehicle crash on northbound Interstate 5 near Fort Tejon Road has shut down the far-left lane, causing significant delays Monday morning.

According to the California Highway Patrol (CHP) Fort Tejon Division, emergency personnel are on the scene assisting with traffic control and vehicle recovery. Officers are conducting traffic breaks to slow drivers and prevent secondary collisions as dense fog limits visibility across the Grapevine area.

CHP officials are urging motorists to reduce speed, maintain safe distances, and avoid aggressive driving as traffic remains backed up for several miles. Drivers are advised not to weave through traffic, as doing so could lead to additional accidents.

The agency noted that conditions are already creating heavy northbound congestion and asked travelers to remain patient, stay buckled, and use caution when approaching the Fort Tejon area.

Updates will be provided as lanes reopen and visibility improves.
