A traffic collision occurred today on US Highway 101 South near the East Washington Street off-ramp in Petaluma, CA. The incident involved two vehicles, including a red sedan that collided with a concrete divider, resulting in debris scattered across the roadway.
Emergency services responded promptly to the scene around noon. The driver of the red sedan was reported to be inside the vehicle shortly after the collision, but the status of any injuries remains unknown. Witnesses indicated that the incident may have been influenced by rainy weather conditions at the time.
As the situation developed, two other vehicles pulled over to assist, demonstrating community support during emergencies. The collision led to a blockage of the roadway at the base of the bridge, causing traffic delays for a brief period.
A tow truck was called to the scene to remove the abandoned vehicle, which had come to rest approximately 75 feet off the roadway, down onto Petaluma Boulevard. By 1:26 PM, the roadway was cleared, allowing traffic to resume its normal flow.
Motorists in the area are advised to remain cautious, as road conditions may still be slippery due to the rain. Authorities remind drivers to exercise caution and be aware of changing weather conditions that can impact road safety.
