A solo vehicle collision occurred today on State Route 17 North near Glenwood Drive in Los Gatos, CA, at approximately 6:04 AM. The incident involved a Tesla that lost control on wet roads and slid sideways. Fortunately, no injuries were reported.
Emergency services responded promptly to the scene, where the vehicle was found partially blocking the first lane. The driver indicated that the wet roadway conditions contributed to the loss of control. Visibility was reportedly poor due to fog in the area, which may have made driving conditions more hazardous.
Traffic experienced temporary disruption as crews worked to recover the vehicle. A tow truck was dispatched, and by 6:49 AM, the vehicle was being recovered without further complications. The roadway was cleared shortly thereafter, allowing traffic to resume normal flow.
This incident highlights the importance of exercising caution during wet weather conditions, especially on highways where visibility can be reduced. The California Highway Patrol encourages all drivers to remain vigilant and adjust their driving behavior according to road conditions to ensure safety for themselves and others.
As the morning commute continues, drivers are advised to stay alert and be mindful of changing weather conditions that can affect road safety.
