The California Highway Patrol usually leads scene management, overseeing traffic control and ensuring disabled vehicles are removed as swiftly as possible. Maintaining clear lanes is essential, as obstructions on high-traffic routes like Interstate 5 can rapidly generate additional risks for fellow motorists.
