A traffic collision involving two vehicles occurred today on the northbound lanes of U.S. Highway 101 near the Tefft Street off-ramp in Nipomo, CA. The incident was reported around 3:35 PM and involved a gray Toyota Prius and a silver Subaru, both of which were blocking the number one lane.
Emergency response teams were dispatched promptly to manage the scene and control traffic flow. Due to the collision, lane closures were implemented, leading to significant delays and congestion for drivers during the busy afternoon commute. One of the vehicles, the gray Toyota Prius, sustained major front damage and required a tow truck for removal from the roadway.
By approximately 4:31 PM, both vehicles were moved to the shoulder of the highway, but the earlier lane closures had already caused a backup for motorists. A signal alert was issued at 4:33 PM to inform the public about the ongoing traffic incident and the expected delays.
Motorists are advised to exercise caution while navigating the area and to anticipate potential delays as the situation is resolved. The California Highway Patrol is actively managing the scene to ensure safety and restore normal traffic flow as quickly as possible.
