A traffic collision on State Route 17 North in Los Gatos, CA, caused significant traffic disruptions today during the morning commute. The incident involved two vehicles—a gray Toyota Tundra and an unknown vehicle—and occurred near Idylwild Road around 11:45 AM. As a result of the collision, the slow lane was blocked, leading to delays and congestion for motorists in the area.
Emergency response units were promptly dispatched to manage the scene and control traffic flow. A tow truck was called to remove the damaged Toyota Tundra, which was deemed unsafe for driving. Fortunately, both vehicles involved were determined to be drivable, but the presence of emergency personnel and the tow truck contributed to traffic backups.

Motorists are advised to seek alternate routes to avoid potential congestion as cleanup efforts continue. The California Highway Patrol is monitoring the situation to ensure that traffic resumes smoothly once the vehicles are cleared.
