A traffic collision occurred today on the northbound lanes of US Highway 101 near the State Route 12 connector in Santa Rosa, CA. The incident involved at least one vehicle, a Ford Escape, which sustained significant damage. Fortunately, no injuries were reported.
Emergency services responded quickly to the scene, with multiple units dispatched to manage traffic and ensure the safety of motorists. The first call for assistance was made around 9:24 PM, indicating the need for a tow truck for the damaged vehicle. By 9:27 PM, emergency crews were actively working to clear the area, with fire services blocking the first lane to facilitate their efforts.
As the situation progressed, it was noted that another vehicle was involved in the collision, which occurred in the third lane. Emergency responders continued to assess the scene and manage traffic flow. A tow truck was specifically requested for the Ford Escape at 9:48 PM, as it had sustained damage to both wheels on the driver’s side.
Traffic conditions were monitored closely, and by 10:00 PM, responders were coordinating with towing services to ensure a timely removal of the damaged vehicle. However, the tow request was ultimately canceled at 11:22 PM, suggesting that the Ford Escape may have been left at the scene or handled differently than initially planned.
The incident was resolved by 10:41 PM, with all emergency units cleared from the area. The quick response from emergency services helped minimize traffic disruption, allowing the northbound lanes of US Highway 101 to reopen shortly after the incident was managed.
