A traffic collision on U.S. Highway 101 North in Petaluma, CA, has led to significant traffic disruptions this morning. The incident occurred near the East Washington Street off-ramp, involving two vehicles: a dark Scion and an unidentified sedan. The sedan was blocking multiple lanes with its airbags deployed, while the Scion was positioned sideways in the traffic lanes.
Emergency units promptly arrived at the scene to manage traffic and assess the situation. Both vehicles were determined to be movable, and plans were made to clear them from the roadway to reduce congestion. As a result of the incident, drivers experienced noticeable delays and backups, particularly for those heading towards the bridge area.
Traffic management teams worked diligently to control the flow of vehicles around the collision site. Motorists were advised to seek alternative routes to avoid the traffic impact caused by this incident.
As emergency responders continued to manage the situation, the expectation is that traffic flow will improve once the vehicles are cleared. The California Highway Patrol is actively overseeing the scene to ensure safety and restore normal traffic conditions as quickly as possible.
