Tree Blocking All Lanes on Highway 199 Causes Traffic Hazard

AI SUMMARY: A traffic hazard was reported on Highway 199 between 4412-4473 due to a tree blocking all lanes. The California Highway Patrol requested assistance from the Department of Transportation to assess the situation. The northbound lane was completely blocked while the southbound lane was partially blocked. It took approximately 8-10 minutes for DOT to arrive at the scene. By 4:50 am, both northbound and southbound lanes were cleared of major debris, but a 20-foot section of the tree was still against the northbound fog line. DOT was unable to reach the CHP on the radio and phone services were down, so they promised to call back with an updated ETA.
