A traffic collision occurred today at the intersection of Pierce Road and Old Japanese Road in Los Gatos, CA, causing notable disruptions to traffic flow. The incident was reported at approximately 6:39 AM when a single vehicle went off the roadway and became partially lodged in a ditch. Although the vehicle was still driveable, it was positioned in an area that was not suitable for safe navigation due to steep conditions on the dirt road.
Emergency response units quickly arrived on the scene to manage the situation and control traffic. Their presence was essential in mitigating further disruptions, as delays were reported in the vicinity during the morning commute. The narrow and tree-lined road added complexity to the recovery efforts.
A tow truck was requested to assist in removing the vehicle from its precarious location. By 7:44 AM, emergency personnel were assessing the best approach for recovery, while traffic continued to be affected. Motorists are advised to avoid the area and seek alternative routes to minimize congestion.
This traffic incident serves as a reminder of the need for caution when navigating steep and narrow roads, particularly in challenging conditions. Updates will be provided as the situation evolves and the roadway is cleared.
