A traffic collision on State Route 17 North in Los Gatos, CA, has caused significant traffic disruptions during the morning commute today. The incident involved three vehicles: a white Ford F-150 truck, a gray Ford Fusion, and a green Hyundai. The collision occurred around 7:42 AM, blocking the roadway and leading to lane closures as emergency services responded to the scene.

By 7:45 AM, emergency responders arrived to assess the situation and began managing traffic flow.
