A traffic collision involving two vehicles occurred today at the intersection of Robinson Canyon Road and Penon Peak Trail in Carmel-by-the-Sea, CA. The incident took place around 7:53 AM during the morning commute, when a gray Lexus IS300 4D and a silver Lexus IS300 4D ended up off the roadway near a ditch area.

Emergency traffic management units quickly responded to the scene to secure the area and manage traffic flow. Due to the collision, there were temporary lane closures, which may have caused some delays for drivers in the area. The vehicles were located approximately six feet off the roadway, prompting the need for a tow truck to assist in their removal.

By 9:38 AM, the tow truck had arrived to clear the vehicles from the ditch, allowing for the reopening of the affected lanes. Motorists traveling through this area were advised to remain cautious and be aware of potential residual congestion as traffic resumed normal flow.
