A major traffic disruption is underway as Highway 101 northbound remains closed past Todd Road in Santa Rosa. The closure is a result of a fallen Redeood tree obstructing all lanes, with a vehicle trapped beneath it and individuals reportedly unable to free themselves.
The incident has prompted local authorities to close off the affected stretch of the highway, diverting traffic at Todd Road. The closure is expected to persist until emergency crews can safely remove the fallen tree and address the situation.
Motorists in the area are urged to exercise caution and follow the designated detour routes provided by authorities. There are multiple alternative routes available to rejoin Highway 101.
The closure has already resulted in significant traffic delays, and commuters are advised to plan alternative routes or delay travel until the roadway is reopened. Emergency services are on the scene working to assess and manage the situation.
