Hollister-Gilroy, CA (November 4, 2024) – A multi-vehicle accident involving at least three to four vehicles, including a red Toyota Yaris and a white Ford Freestyle, occurred Monday morning around 8:42 a.m. on US-101 Northbound just south of Masten Ave in the Hollister-Gilroy area. According to the California Highway Patrol (CHP), the collision led to vehicles blocking the median and roadside areas, causing significant traffic delays.
Emergency personnel responded swiftly to the scene, with CHP and medical responders working together to provide care for those injured. One vehicle, a red Toyota Yaris, contained a pregnant woman who was nine months along; her vehicle sustained major rear-end damage and was deemed totaled.
