A traffic collision on US Highway 101 South in Palo Alto, CA, caused notable traffic disruptions today during the morning commute. The incident, which involved three vehicles, occurred near the Embarcadero/Oregon Expressway area at approximately 10:47 AM. A gray Toyota was reported as not drivable, while two other vehicles, described as a gray unknown sedan and a white unknown sedan, were also involved.
Following the collision, California Highway Patrol (CHP) units were dispatched to manage the scene and direct traffic. The presence of CHP led to lane closures, resulting in delays and backups for motorists traveling through the area.

As the situation developed, CHP worked to clear the roadway and restore normal traffic flow. Officers monitored the area closely, ensuring that traffic was managed effectively until the scene was cleared. Motorists were advised to seek alternate routes to avoid the affected area and minimize delays.
This incident serves as a reminder of the potential for traffic collisions to disrupt daily commutes. Drivers are encouraged to remain vigilant and aware of changing traffic conditions, especially during busy travel times.
