A traffic collision involving two vehicles occurred today on State Route 116 near Elphick Road in Sebastopol, CA. The incident, reported around 6:42 PM, involved a Honda CRV and a black Toyota Highlander, both of which were rendered non-drivable. The vehicles were found on the shoulder, partially blocking the eastbound lanes of State Route 116.

Emergency responders quickly arrived to manage the scene and direct traffic. Due to the positioning of the vehicles, lane closures were necessary, leading to potential delays and congestion for drivers in the area.

Tow trucks were requested to remove the damaged vehicles from the scene. One tow truck was designated for the Honda CRV, which sustained significant damage, while another was assigned for the Toyota Highlander. As emergency personnel worked to clear the area, motorists were advised to expect backups and to consider alternate routes to avoid delays.
