The incident, which took place around 5:26 PM, involved a red 2009 Nissan Altima and a black sports sedan. Both vehicles sustained damage and required towing services, leading to significant traffic delays in the area.
Emergency response units were dispatched to manage the scene and control traffic, as the collision resulted in a backup that extended toward Prunedale Avenue. A tow truck was called to the scene to remove the damaged vehicles, but the heavy traffic conditions complicated the process.

Drivers are advised to remain cautious and aware of their surroundings, especially during peak traffic hours. The California Highway Patrol continues to monitor the situation to ensure safe travel for all motorists in the area.
