A traffic collision involving a single vehicle occurred today on State Route 17 North near Summit in Los Gatos, CA, at approximately 3:53 PM. A white Toyota Cam struck a wall, resulting in significant damage that may have rendered the vehicle undriveable.

Although the right lane was blocked, reports indicated that no other lanes were fully closed, allowing some traffic to continue moving. However, drivers in the vicinity may have experienced delays and congestion as they navigated around the incident.
