Traffic delay on I-5 near Woodland following crash

MINUTE RIDE OUT OF ELK GROVE. NOW BACK TO THAT CRASH IN THE WOODLAND AREA. A FATAL VEHICLE VERSUS PEDESTRIAN COLLISION. MELANIE WINGO IS ON THE SCENE OF THAT NEAR. HIGHWAY 16, AND IT APPEARS, BRIAN, THAT THIS IS IN ITS FINAL STAGES. THE CLEANUP PHASES OF THIS TRAGIC INCIDENT OUT HERE ON I-5 IN THE SOUTHBOUND LANES, JUST NORTH OF WOODLAND. YOU CAN SEE FIRST RESPONDERS OUT HERE CLEANING UP THE LAST BIT OF THE CRASH SITE. AND THEY ARE GOING TO THEN OPEN THE TRAFFIC FOR ALL OF THOSE TRAVELERS WHO WERE GOING IN THE SOUTHBOUND DIRECTION. I’M GOING TO STEP OUT OF THE WAY IN THIS DIRECTION TO SHOW YOU HOW THEY ARE HOLDING TRAFFIC RIGHT NOW. AS YOU CAN SEE, ALL OF THOSE CARS THAT WOULD BE HEADED IN THE SOUTHBOUND DIRECTION BEING HELD AT JUST ABOUT A QUARTER MILE AWAY FROM THE CRASH SCENE ITSELF. WHILE FIRST RESPONDERS DO THEIR REMAINING WORK AND THEN THE TRAFFIC WILL BE RELEASED ONCE THEY HAVE CLEARED THIS ENTIRELY. ALL OF THIS HAPPENING ABOUT TWO HOURS AGO AND IN THE NORTHBOUND SIDE OF THINGS, IT APPEARS TRAFFIC IS MOVING SMOOTHLY. NO SPECTATOR SLOWDOWN EVEN ON THE NORTHBOUND SIDE OF I-5. BUT THIS CERTAINLY CAUSED QUITE A BACKUP HERE ON THE SOUTHBOUND SIDE FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS. AND AS I MENTIONED NOW IN ITS FINAL STAGES BEFORE, THEY ALLOW TRAFFIC IN THE SOUTHBOUND DIRECTION TO HEAD BACK DOWN SOUTH TOWARD WOODLAND AND THEN ON TOWARD SACRAMENTO. SO THAT’S THE LATEST HERE FROM
