A traffic collision on US Highway 101 South in San Juan Bautista, CA, has resulted in significant traffic disruptions today. The incident occurred during the morning commute at approximately 9:56 AM, involving two vehicles: a black SUV and another vehicle identified as "1125." The black SUV was found facing west in the traffic lanes, while the second vehicle lost control after hitting a puddle and made contact with the side rail.
Due to the collision, the left lane of US Highway 101 South was occupied, leading to the temporary closure of the southbound lanes for vehicle recovery. Emergency services, including tow operators and traffic management units, responded promptly to the scene to manage traffic flow and ensure roadway safety.
Motorists in the area experienced delays and congestion as traffic was redirected around the incident site. The closure of the southbound lanes created a backup, impacting the flow of vehicles during peak travel hours. Authorities worked diligently to clear the roadway and restore normal traffic patterns.
Drivers are advised to seek alternate routes and remain cautious while navigating through the area as recovery efforts continue. Updates will be provided as the situation develops.
