A traffic collision on US Highway 101 North at the State Route 237 West interchange in Mountain View, CA, caused significant traffic disruptions today. The incident occurred during the evening commute at approximately 7:41 PM and involved two vehicles: a white Nissan and a grey Toyota RAV4. The white Nissan sustained major rear-end damage and was rendered undrivable, while the grey Toyota RAV4 suffered severe front-end damage.
As a result of the collision, the middle lanes of the highway were blocked, leading to debris scattered across the roadway.

A tow truck was called to remove the damaged vehicles, and by 8:12 PM, one lane was reopened to help alleviate some of the traffic backup. However, delays continued as crews worked to ensure the area was safe for drivers. Motorists are advised to seek alternate routes if possible to avoid congestion in the area.
