A traffic collision on US Highway 101 North in Morgan Hill, CA, caused significant delays during the morning commute today. The incident involved two vehicles: a blue Kia EV6, which remained drivable, and a gray/silver Toyota that was not drivable and required towing.
The collision occurred around 8:53 AM when the Toyota reportedly swerved into the Kia, leading to a traffic incident that resulted in the closure of at least one northbound lane. Emergency response teams arrived quickly to manage the scene and direct traffic, but heavy congestion developed as multiple units worked to clear the area.
By 9:15 AM, authorities announced that the northbound lanes would be temporarily shut down to facilitate the movement of vehicles to the right-hand side of the road. A tow truck was called to remove the non-drivable Toyota, which was obstructing traffic.
As a result of the traffic collision, motorists experienced significant backup and delays, particularly in the vicinity of the incident. Drivers are advised to seek alternate routes to avoid congestion on US Highway 101 North as cleanup efforts continue.
