A traffic collision on US Highway 101 North in Thousand Oaks, CA, has caused significant lane disruptions today. The incident occurred around 10:30 PM when an unknown vehicle became stuck off the curb and in the bushes near the Lynn Road on-ramp. Although a tow truck was initially requested, the request was later canceled, leaving the vehicle at the scene.
California Highway Patrol (CHP) units responded promptly to manage the situation and ensure roadway safety. As a result of the collision, lane closures were implemented along the northbound approach at Lynn Road, leading to potential delays for drivers in the area. CHP officers actively managed traffic to minimize congestion and guide motorists safely past the incident.
The vehicle was positioned approximately 50 feet down an embankment, which complicated access for emergency responders. CHP units remained on-site to control the scene and assist with traffic flow. Motorists are advised to expect possible backups and to consider alternate routes if traveling in this area during the evening hours.
This traffic incident underscores the importance of safe driving practices and the need for efficient emergency response to maintain safety for all road users.
