A multi-vehicle collision occurred today on the northbound lanes of US Highway 101 at the Montague Expressway off-ramp in Santa Clara, CA. The incident involved three vehicles: a white Infiniti sedan, a red Ford truck, and a black sedan. Emergency services were dispatched to the scene shortly after the accident was reported around 9:33 AM.

The white Infiniti sedan sustained significant damage and was towed from the area, while the red Ford truck also required towing due to major damage. The driver of the Infiniti experienced unknown injuries, having initially been unconscious but later regaining consciousness.

To ensure safety and facilitate cleanup, the off-ramp to westbound San Tomas Expressway was temporarily closed for approximately 10 to 15 minutes. Witnesses indicated that the Infiniti was speeding prior to the collision, which resulted in the vehicles colliding in a manner that left the Infiniti in a ditch with airbags deployed.

Traffic in the area was impacted as emergency crews worked to clear the scene and assist those involved. A tow truck was called to remove the damaged vehicles, and the situation was resolved by late morning. Motorists are advised to exercise caution while driving in the vicinity as cleanup operations conclude.
