#Trafficalert COMMUTE TO SACRAMENTO: Both NB I-5 and NB SR-99 are thick with stop-and-go-traffic this morning commute. A collision created thick congestion on I-5, and that has sent commuters to SR-99 - which is also stop-and-go. Expect delays and please be patient this morning. pic.twitter.com/KCoR1K6Xt8
