A significant traffic collision occurred today on the northbound lanes of U.S. Highway 101 near Las Virgenes Road in Calabasas, CA, involving five vehicles: a white Tesla Model Y, a blue Honda SUV, a silver Dodge Ram, and an Audi Q8. The incident blocked multiple lanes during the busy morning commute, resulting in substantial traffic delays and congestion.
Emergency responders arrived promptly to manage the scene, coordinating with towing services to clear the vehicles involved.
