A multi-vehicle collision occurred this morning on US Highway 101 North near the San Antonio Road off-ramp in Mountain View, CA, causing significant lane blockages but fortunately resulting in no reported injuries. The incident took place at approximately 8:44 AM and involved three vehicles: a gray Ford F150 and a dark gray Honda Civic.
Emergency services, including the California Highway Patrol, responded promptly to the scene. The collision blocked multiple lanes of traffic, creating challenges for morning commuters. The Honda Civic was rendered undriveable and was obstructing the roadway, necessitating the arrival of a tow truck to clear the vehicle.
By 8:54 AM, emergency responders were actively working to manage the situation. Traffic was further complicated as the right lanes remained blocked, with hazards activated on the involved vehicles. Fortunately, by 9:18 AM, all lanes were reopened, allowing traffic to resume its normal flow.
The California Highway Patrol confirmed that the Ford F150 was likely drivable, although this was not explicitly stated. The quick response from emergency services ensured that the situation was resolved efficiently, minimizing the impact on traffic in the area.
Motorists are reminded to exercise caution while driving in the vicinity of accidents and to be aware of changing road conditions. The California Highway Patrol continues to monitor traffic incidents and encourages drivers to stay alert and follow all posted signs and signals.
In summary, while the morning collision on US Highway 101 North caused temporary disruptions, the lack of injuries and the efficient response from emergency services helped mitigate the situation effectively. Commuters can expect improved traffic conditions as the roadway has been cleared and is now fully operational.
