A traffic collision on U.S. Highway 101 South in Chualar, CA, caused significant traffic disruptions today during the evening rush hour. The incident, which occurred around 5:31 PM, involved two vehicles: a silver sedan and a black SUV, identified as a Chevrolet, which sustained moderate front and rear damage.
Due to the collision, both southbound lanes of U.S. Highway 101 were closed, leading to considerable backup and congestion for motorists in the area. Emergency services responded promptly, with units dispatched to manage traffic and secure the collision site. One vehicle was relocated to the right-hand side of the highway, but traffic remained affected as crews worked to clear the scene.
Motorists traveling through Chualar should expect delays and consider alternative routes if possible. The closure of both lanes has resulted in slow-moving traffic, particularly during the peak evening commute. Authorities are advising drivers to exercise caution and remain patient as the situation is resolved.
This traffic incident underscores the importance of road safety and the need for drivers to stay alert, especially during busy travel times. Updates on lane openings and traffic conditions will be provided as more information becomes available.
