A traffic collision involving two vehicles occurred today on the northbound lanes of U.S. Highway 101 near the Yolanda Avenue off-ramp in Santa Rosa, CA. The incident took place around 10:40 AM when a black Chevrolet Corvette collided with the right-side barrier, resulting in significant front-end damage that rendered the vehicle undriveable.
