A traffic collision involving two vehicles occurred today on the northbound lanes of U.S. Highway 101 (US-101) near the State Route 131 East on-ramp in Alto, CA. The incident took place around 5:34 PM and involved a white sedan and a red pickup truck. Fortunately, both vehicles remained drivable, leading to the cancellation of a tow request shortly after the collision.
The crash resulted in significant lane blockages, specifically affecting lanes three and four, which caused delays and congestion for evening commuters. Multiple emergency units were dispatched to the scene to manage traffic and ensure safety. As a result, drivers in the area experienced backups and slower-than-usual travel times.
Emergency responders worked efficiently to control the situation, allowing for the safe passage of vehicles around the incident. By approximately 6:46 PM, the scene was under control, and traffic began to return to normal as the blocked lanes were cleared.
Motorists are advised to remain cautious while traveling in the area and to expect possible residual delays as traffic resumes its usual flow. For real-time updates on traffic conditions, drivers are encouraged to check local traffic reports.
