TRACY, San Joaquin County, Calif., Oct. 23, 2026 — A two-vehicle crash with minor injuries closed part of westbound Grant Line Road at 11th Street late on Wednesday night, October 21, the California Highway Patrol said.
The collision involved a dark-colored Tesla and a second vehicle. Someone standing outside the Tesla was reported at the scene, along with what may have been one or two additional people standing near the other vehicle, before the crash was confirmed.
The CHP initially logged the call as a crash of unknown injury severity before updating it to a minor-injury collision. A tow truck was requested to clear at least one vehicle from the roadway.
Dispatch notes describe a tense scene after the tow truck arrived. Occupants reportedly got out of their vehicle and gathered around the tow truck, with at least one person described as upset and yelling at the driver. San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office personnel were sent to the location as the situation was sorted out. By the end of the log, only one occupant and the tow operator remained with the vehicle, which was to be dropped at a location on E. Durham Ferry Road.
No further details on injuries, vehicle makes beyond the Tesla, or a cause have been released. The crash remains under investigation.
Our thoughts are with those who were injured, and we wish them a full recovery.
