A serious traffic collision involving three vehicles occurred early today on State Route 84 in Sunol, California. The incident took place at approximately 12:17 AM, resulting in a head-on crash that blocked all eastbound lanes of the highway.

The vehicles involved included a gray Tesla Model 3, a white Honda Accord, and a gray sedan. Emergency services were quickly dispatched to the scene after reports indicated that at least one person sustained injuries and required medical assistance. Fire and medical units arrived promptly to provide aid.

Due to the crash, all lanes on eastbound State Route 84 were initially closed, leading to significant traffic disruptions. Tow services were called to remove the non-drivable vehicles, which were left inoperable following the collision. By 2:27 AM, crews had cleared debris from the roadway, and one-way traffic control was established by 2:52 AM to manage the flow of vehicles while cleanup efforts continued.

The California Highway Patrol issued a signal alert due to the crash, advising motorists to expect delays. The situation was complicated by several large trucks that became stuck behind the incident, further exacerbating traffic conditions in the area.

By approximately 2:55 AM, traffic control measures allowed westbound traffic to resume, while eastbound lanes remained under management until the scene was fully cleared. The roadway was reopened shortly thereafter, allowing normal traffic flow to resume.

This incident highlights the importance of safe driving practices, especially during nighttime hours when visibility may be reduced. Authorities are continuing to investigate the circumstances surrounding the collision, and updates will be provided as more information becomes available.

Motorists are encouraged to stay informed about road conditions and to drive cautiously in the vicinity of ongoing traffic incidents.
