A crash on Friday, July 28 in the right lane of westbound SR 104 / Ballinger Way blocked traffic on Ballinger right at the I-5 off ramps.

In the photo, emergency responders have blocked both off-ramps from I-5 but are allowing one lane to pass on westbound Ballinger.

For some reason, a police vehicle is blocking the right lane of eastbound Ballinger Way, just before the exit.

Drivers were stuck on the off-ramps. Those exiting the freeway from northbound lanes were forced to go to the next exit and turn around to exit southbound on I-5.
