A multi-vehicle collision occurred today at approximately 5:55 PM on the northbound lanes of U.S. Highway 101 near the Golf Course Drive off-ramp in Rohnert Park, CA. The incident involved three to four vehicles, including a black SUV, a white Jeep, and a black Honda minivan. Fortunately, no injuries were reported, and no occupants were found in or around the vehicles at the time of the incident.
Emergency services were dispatched shortly after the collision, with units arriving on the scene by 6:33 PM. The California Highway Patrol (CHP) managed the situation effectively, ensuring the safety of the area and directing traffic around the incident. Two vehicles, a Toyota Ranger 4WD and a red Ford SUV, were towed from the scene due to significant damage. The status of the other vehicles involved remains unclear, but they likely sustained some level of damage.
The CHP units worked diligently from 6:00 PM until 6:55 PM to clear the area and restore normal traffic flow. During this time, the second lane of the northbound U.S. Highway 101 was blocked, which may have caused minor traffic delays. However, the quick response from emergency services helped minimize the impact on commuters.
Witnesses reported that one of the vehicles appeared to be severely damaged, indicating the force of the collision. Despite the dramatic nature of the incident, the absence of injuries is a relief to all involved.
As the investigation continues, authorities are working to determine the cause of the collision. Motorists are advised to remain cautious while driving in the area and to adhere to any traffic advisories issued by the CHP.
