A traffic collision on U.S. Highway 101 in Buellton, CA, caused significant traffic disruptions early this morning. The incident involved three to four vehicles, including a white Tesla, and occurred around 1:20 AM. Emergency services responded promptly to manage the scene and control traffic.
As the situation developed, one vehicle required towing assistance, leading to lane blockages that affected traffic flow. By 1:30 AM, emergency responders had begun clearing the roadway, and by 1:32 AM, the vehicles were either removed or in the process of being towed. This allowed traffic to resume, and all lanes were reopened shortly thereafter.
Motorists experienced delays and some backup during the incident, but the efficient response from emergency services helped minimize congestion. The California Highway Patrol was on the scene to ensure safety and assist with traffic management.
Drivers are reminded to remain vigilant and cautious while navigating through traffic incidents. The CHP advises all motorists to stay alert for any changes in road conditions that may arise due to ongoing traffic incidents.
