A traffic collision involving two vehicles occurred today on the northbound lanes of U.S. Highway 101 near the Ellis Street off-ramp in Mountain View, CA. The incident was reported at approximately 8:03 AM, involving a white sedan and a black sedan. Emergency services quickly responded to the scene.
The black sedan was determined to be non-drivable and required towing. As a result, all lanes were temporarily closed to ensure the safety of those involved and facilitate the response. By 8:17 AM, the right-hand lanes were reopened, while the remaining lanes continued to be closed for the towing operation.
Fortunately, the incident was classified as having no injuries, allowing for a swift resolution. A tow truck arrived on-site by 8:35 AM to assist with the removal of the black sedan, helping to minimize disruption to traffic flow.
Motorists in the area were advised to seek alternate routes during the incident, as the temporary lane closures could have caused delays. The California Highway Patrol and other emergency services worked diligently to clear the scene and restore normal traffic conditions.
This incident serves as a reminder for drivers to remain vigilant and cautious on the road, especially in busy areas such as U.S. Highway 101.
