How do I report highway emergencies such as large pieces of debris in the road that are causing traffic to swerve severely and may immediately cause an accident?
The web pages are not the proper place to report highway emergencies. E-mail may not be read immediately. A report sent to us about an emergency situation may not be read for several days. If you see large pieces of debris on the traveled way that are causing traffic to swerve sharply or slow down quickly it should be reported immediately by calling the CHP or 911. CHP will advise Caltrans crews immediately of the danger and dispatch a crew or set up a traffic break to remove the danger.
