Santa Clara County, CA (June 24, 2026) – A crash with injuries was reported on Wednesday afternoon, June 24, on southbound U.S. 101 at Bailey Road. The first update was logged at 1:52 p.m.
Initial information said two vehicles were involved. A silver Chrysler rental van and a dark gray Porsche were later listed in the report.
Both vehicles were in the center divider, and one was not drivable. Early updates said the vehicles were not blocking lanes, but the number one lane was later closed while emergency units worked nearby. Tow trucks were requested for both vehicles.
Investigators are reviewing what led to the wreck on southbound U.S. 101. We hope anyone injured receives proper care and recovers steadily.
Why Center Divider Crashes Can Still Affect Freeway Traffic
Crashes that end in a center divider can still create delays, even when vehicles are not fully blocking lanes. Passing drivers may slow down, change lanes, or move away from damaged vehicles close to traffic.
Emergency units may also need to close a lane to create a safer work space. This gives medical crews, tow drivers, and investigators more room near the divider.
Towing work can take time when more than one vehicle is damaged. If a vehicle cannot be driven, crews may need to position tow trucks carefully near fast-moving traffic. Early reports often focus on lane status, vehicle placement, and tow needs before more facts are confirmed.
