A multi-vehicle collision occurred today on the northbound lanes of US 101 near the Embarcadero Road on-ramp in Palo Alto, CA. The incident took place at approximately 10:16 AM and involved three vehicles: a gray Honda sedan, a black Subaru, and a black Ford Expedition.
Emergency services were dispatched promptly after the collision was reported. Units arrived on the scene by 10:31 AM to manage the situation and provide assistance. The driver of a silver Toyota Camry was reported to be unconscious and shaking at the time of the incident, prompting the request for an ambulance.
The black Ford Expedition sustained major damage and was towed from the scene. While the status of the other vehicles involved was not specified, it is likely they were also towed due to their obstructive positions on the roadway.
