A traffic collision occurred this morning on State Route 17 North near Redwood Estates Road in Los Gatos, CA, causing significant traffic disruption. At approximately 6:06 AM, a dark-colored pickup truck was reported blocking the middle lane of the highway. Fortunately, no injuries were reported in the incident.

Emergency services quickly responded to the scene, where it was determined that the vehicles involved were not drivable and required towing. The early morning darkness contributed to poor visibility, making it difficult for drivers to see the disabled vehicle.

Tow trucks were dispatched to remove the vehicles and clear the roadway. By 6:21 AM, emergency responders were actively managing the situation to restore normal traffic conditions.
