A traffic collision involving three vehicles occurred today on State Route 17 North near Raineri Lane in Los Gatos, CA, resulting in significant damage and traffic disruptions. The incident took place at approximately 12:49 PM, when a white pickup truck collided with a white Subaru Outback and a box truck.
Emergency services responded promptly to the scene, where they discovered that the Subaru Outback sustained major front-end damage. A tow truck was called to remove the damaged vehicle from the roadway. One individual involved in the accident reported needing an X-ray, indicating possible injuries, although further details regarding their condition have not been released.
The collision blocked the second lane of State Route 17 North, while the first lane remained open to traffic. This partial blockage led to some traffic delays as emergency responders worked to manage the scene and ensure the safety of all involved. Additionally, a fallen tree was reported to be obstructing the turn lane to Raineri Lane, further complicating the traffic situation.
By 1:40 PM, the situation was resolved, and all emergency units were cleared from the scene. The second lane remained blocked for a short time longer as the tow truck worked to remove the Subaru Outback. Despite the challenges posed by the accident and the fallen tree, traffic was able to flow through the first lane, minimizing the overall impact on drivers.
Motorists in the area are advised to remain cautious and aware of potential hazards on the road, especially in the aftermath of such incidents. The California Highway Patrol encourages drivers to prioritize safety and adhere to traffic regulations to prevent similar occurrences in the future.
