A traffic collision involving four vehicles occurred today on the southbound lanes of U.S. Highway 101 near the Lawrence Expressway off-ramp in Sunnyvale, CA. The incident, which took place during the early morning hours, resulted in the partial blockage of one to two lanes, including the closure of the High-Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane.

Emergency services, including the California Highway Patrol and local police units, responded quickly to manage the scene and direct traffic flow. As a result of the collision, vehicles were observed swerving to avoid the obstruction, leading to potential delays for morning commuters.

The collision involved two SUVs, one dark-colored and one silver or white, along with an unknown vehicle that was found on its side. A Tesla Model 3 was also part of the incident but was drivable and left the area shortly after the crash.

Traffic was diverted as emergency personnel worked to clear the lanes and restore normal flow. By late morning, all lanes were reported to be open, alleviating the congestion that had built up due to the incident.

Motorists are advised to remain cautious while traveling through the area, as residual traffic may still be present. This incident highlights the importance of safe driving practices on busy highways.
