A traffic collision involving two vehicles occurred today at the intersection of US Highway 101 North and San Anselmo Road Off-Ramp in Atascadero, CA. The incident involved a white pickup truck and an F250, both of which required towing from the scene due to damage sustained during the crash.

Traffic flow was significantly impacted, leading to lane closures and the implementation of traffic control measures to manage the situation. Emergency response units arrived promptly to oversee the scene and direct traffic, which resulted in delays for motorists in the area, particularly during the early morning hours.

As emergency crews worked to clear the roadway, drivers experienced backups and congestion. Tow trucks were dispatched to remove the damaged vehicles, and traffic management personnel ensured that safe passage was maintained for other vehicles.

Authorities advised motorists to exercise caution while traveling through the affected area, as residual delays may continue until the scene is fully cleared. It is recommended that drivers consider alternate routes to avoid potential traffic disruptions. The California Highway Patrol was on-site to monitor the situation and facilitate the safe reopening of the affected lanes.
