Morgan Hill, CA – A hydroplaning accident on US Highway 101 North at Bailey Road led to a multi-vehicle collision Wednesday night as heavy rain created treacherous driving conditions.
The crash, reported around 8:43 PM, occurred when one vehicle lost control on the rain-slicked road, colliding with another. Emergency responders arrived swiftly, and an ambulance was dispatched to assess possible injuries, though the severity remains unknown.
At least one vehicle was towed, and lane closures were implemented to allow emergency crews to clear the wreckage. By 9:11 PM, authorities had restored normal traffic flow.
Drivers are urged to exercise caution in wet conditions, as hydroplaning poses a significant risk. The California Highway Patrol advises reducing speed and maintaining safe distances during heavy rain to prevent similar accidents.
