A multi-vehicle traffic collision occurred today on the northbound side of U.S. Highway 101 at the Old Middlefield Way off-ramp in Mountain View, CA. The incident involved three vehicles: a gray Honda Civic, a gold Subaru, and an unknown vehicle. Fortunately, no injuries were reported among the drivers involved.
Emergency services, including the California Highway Patrol (CHP) and the Freeway Service Patrol (FSP), responded promptly to the scene at approximately 6:02 AM. The collision caused a blockage in the middle lane, which required immediate attention. Both the gray Honda Civic and the gold Subaru were confirmed to be drivable, allowing them to be moved safely off the roadway. However, the gray Ford Ranger, which was also involved, was not drivable and required towing.
By 6:49 AM, the incident was cleared, and the roadway was reopened to traffic. Normal traffic flow resumed shortly thereafter, minimizing disruptions for morning commuters. The swift response from emergency services helped to alleviate any potential delays on this busy highway.
Witnesses reported that the gray Honda Civic was involved in a collision with the gold Subaru and an unknown vehicle, with one of the vehicles also colliding with a black Jeep SUV. Despite the multiple vehicles involved, the absence of injuries is a relief for all parties concerned.
This incident highlights the importance of remaining vigilant while driving, especially during peak traffic hours. The CHP encourages motorists to report any hazardous conditions or accidents to ensure the safety of all road users.
