A traffic collision involving two vehicles occurred today on the southbound lanes of U.S. Highway 101 near Moorpark Road in Thousand Oaks, CA. The incident took place around 11:49 AM, involving a black Tesla Model Y and an unknown vehicle. The collision caused the Tesla to spin out and block traffic until emergency services arrived to manage the situation.

Fortunately, there were no reported injuries resulting from the incident. However, the Tesla's position in the roadway created significant traffic disruptions as drivers navigated around the scene. Emergency responders quickly assessed the situation and worked to clear the roadway, allowing traffic to resume its normal flow.

A tow truck was called to the scene to assist with the removal of the vehicles involved in the collision. By 12:02 PM, the tow truck was on-site, blocking a slow lane while preparing to clear the Tesla from the roadway. The situation was handled efficiently, and the tow truck was expected to access the area for vehicle removal shortly thereafter.

Motorists are advised to remain cautious and aware of their surroundings while traveling through this area, as incidents like these can occur unexpectedly.
