A multi-vehicle collision occurred today on US Highway 101 North near Tennant Avenue in Morgan Hill, CA, involving three vehicles: a red Toyota Sienna, a gray BMW, and a blue Polestar. The incident took place at approximately 5:41 PM, blocking lane one and causing significant traffic disruption.

Emergency services responded promptly, with units arriving on the scene by 5:57 PM. While the report did not specify the extent of injuries, it was noted that a child with autism was present in one of the vehicles, which may have required additional care. All vehicles involved were confirmed to be non-drivable and required towing.

The absence of Freeway Service Patrol assistance at the time complicated the situation, leading to delays in clearing the roadway. Witnesses reported that the red Toyota Sienna collided with the gray BMW, with the blue Polestar also involved. The exact cause of the collision remains unclear.
