MERCED COUNTY, Calif. (Feb. 5, 2025) — Five vehicles were involved in a crash on Highway 152, just west of State Route 59 near El Nido in Merced County.

The traffic accident occurred in the eastbound lanes of SR-152 at 7:20 a.m. on Feb. 5th, according to the California Highway Patrol.

Paramedics responded to help those injured, but there were no serious injuries reported.
