Traffic Collision on US Highway 101 South in Carpinteria Causes Delays Today

A traffic collision occurred today on US Highway 101 South near North Padaro Lane in Carpinteria, CA, resulting in significant traffic disruptions. The incident involved three vehicles: a yellow taxi cab, a vehicle identified as a "COUCH," and a silver Honda CRV. The taxi struck debris from the "COUCH," which had fallen onto the roadway, complicating the situation further.

As the evening commute began, debris in the slow lane caused slow lane conditions and near traffic conflicts, leading to congestion and delays for drivers in the area. Multiple units from the California Highway Patrol were dispatched to manage traffic and secure the scene.

A tow truck was called to remove at least one vehicle involved in the incident, helping to alleviate some of the traffic backup. However, motorists should expect lingering delays as crews work to clear the scene and ensure the roadway is safe for travel.

Drivers are advised to exercise caution while navigating this section of US Highway 101 South, especially during peak travel times. The California Highway Patrol is actively managing the situation to restore normal traffic flow as quickly as possible.
