A significant traffic collision occurred today on US Highway 101 North and South at Wendy Drive in Thousand Oaks, CA, causing major disruptions during the morning commute. The incident involved three vehicles: a heavy-duty semi truck, a white van, and a dark-colored Toyota Prius.
As a result of the collision, approximately three-quarters of a lane was closed to facilitate recovery operations and manage the scene. Multiple emergency units responded promptly to secure the area and direct traffic, ensuring safety for all motorists. The closure of the right-hand shoulder and partial lane blockage led to noticeable delays and congestion for drivers navigating this busy intersection.
Motorists are advised to seek alternative routes to avoid potential backups, as recovery efforts are expected to take some time. Additionally, the Borchard on-ramp to northbound US Highway 101 has been closed, further compounding traffic issues in the area.
Travelers should remain cautious and expect delays as emergency crews work diligently to clear the scene and restore normal traffic conditions. Updates will be provided as the situation develops, but for now, drivers are encouraged to stay informed and plan their journeys accordingly.
