"Crews are turning cars around on westbound Interstate 80 Wednesday afternoon as a heavy snowstorm hits the Tahoe region. Several cars have spun out on the highway, Caltrans said on X, and cars are turning around at the Truckee and Donner Lake interchange. Officials said there is no estimated time of when traffic will resume and travelers should expect major delays."
""Roads are slick and icy so take it slow! We want you to make it safely to your destination this Christmas... be prepared, slow down, and expect delays with today's holiday travel. Because 'making memories' shouldn't include us pulling you out of a snowbank," CHP said. Photos posted by the agency show several cars flipped over onto the snowy roadside."
A heavy snowstorm hit the Tahoe region, forcing crews to turn cars around on westbound Interstate 80 after several vehicles spun out at Truckee and Donner Lake. Officials reported no estimate for when traffic will resume and travelers should expect major delays. Eastbound traffic requires chains for all vehicles except four-wheel-drive cars with four snow tires. CHP said spinouts occurred over Donner Summit and warned roads are slick and icy; drivers were urged to slow down. Photos show several cars flipped onto the snowy roadside. A winter weather advisory remains in effect through Friday; heavy snow and strong gusty winds are expected.
