A minor collision involving two semi-trucks occurred today on Eastbound State Route 152 at Ferguson in Gilroy, CA. The incident took place around 11:00 AM when one truck made an unsafe merge, striking the mirror of another truck. Fortunately, no injuries were reported, and both vehicles remained drivable following the collision.
Emergency services responded promptly to the scene, with the California Highway Patrol arriving shortly after the incident was reported. Traffic was minimally impacted, and the scene was cleared quickly, allowing drivers to resume their journeys without significant delays.

Authorities confirmed that this incident appeared to be unrelated to the earlier truck collision. The California Highway Patrol and local law enforcement were notified and began investigating the threats and the tampering of the brake lines.
While the earlier collision did not result in any injuries or major traffic disruptions, the later report raised concerns about safety at the gas station. Authorities are urging anyone with information regarding the brake line tampering to come forward.
As investigations continue, motorists are reminded to practice safe driving habits and remain vigilant on the roads. The California Highway Patrol encourages drivers to report any suspicious activity to ensure the safety of all road users.
