A traffic collision on State Route 152 in Gilroy, CA, caused significant disruptions during the morning commute today. The incident involved a single vehicle, a white Acura, which rolled onto its roof after colliding with a light pole. This led to the temporary closure of both lanes, resulting in delays and congestion for motorists.
Emergency services responded quickly to manage traffic and secure the scene. As crews worked to recover the overturned vehicle, a tow truck was called to assist with the removal. The downed power lines added to the complexity of the situation, requiring coordination with utility services.
Traffic was heavily impacted, with backups forming as drivers navigated around the closed lanes. Emergency responders ensured that safety measures were in place while recovery efforts were underway. After approximately an hour of work, both lanes were reopened, allowing traffic to resume its normal flow.
Motorists are advised to remain cautious as the area clears, as lingering delays may still occur. The California Highway Patrol and local emergency services worked collaboratively to minimize disruption and restore traffic flow on this busy roadway.
