A traffic collision involving five vehicles occurred today on US Highway 101 South near Del Norte Boulevard in Oxnard, CA. The incident took place around 4:45 PM and resulted in significant traffic disruptions due to lane blockages. The vehicles involved included a gray Ford F150, a white Acura MDX, a Tesla, and two motorcycles, one of which was lying on the roadway while the other obstructed the slow lane.
Emergency services responded promptly to the scene to manage traffic and ensure safety. The Ford and Acura were confirmed drivable, despite being invalid, while the Tesla was also located in the slow lane. The presence of the motorcycles added to the complexity of the situation, with one motorcycle requiring a tow truck for removal from the roadway.
As a result of the lane closures, motorists experienced delays and congestion in the area, particularly during the busy afternoon traffic period. Emergency responders worked efficiently to clear the roadway and restore normal traffic flow. By approximately 5:22 PM, the scene was under control, and traffic management efforts were in place to alleviate the backup caused by the traffic incident.
