A traffic collision on northbound State Route 17 (SR-17) in Los Gatos, CA, caused significant traffic disruptions today during the evening commute. The incident occurred around 6:44 PM near Laurel Road, involving a single vehicle—a white sedan—that became non-drivable and required towing.
As emergency units arrived at the scene, lane closures were implemented to manage the situation effectively. This led to traffic delays and congestion for motorists traveling northbound on SR-17. Witnesses reported that the white sedan crashed into a concrete divider, resulting in the need for additional traffic control measures.
Emergency responders worked diligently to clear the scene and restore normal traffic flow. By 7:03 PM, responders were actively managing the situation, and efforts were underway to remove the vehicle involved in the traffic incident. However, delays persisted for some time as traffic was rerouted and controlled.
Motorists were advised to exercise caution and consider alternate routes while the scene was being cleared. The incident serves as a reminder for drivers to remain vigilant and adhere to traffic regulations, particularly during peak travel times.
Traffic conditions are expected to improve as emergency units complete their work and all lanes are reopened.
