Car accident cleared off Highway 101

A six-vehicle accident that left involved cars stacked on top of each other Tuesday afternoon was cleared by the California Highway patrol from U.S. Highway 101 in East Palo Alto around 5:40 p.m.

The accident was reported in the southbound lanes just south of University Avenue at 4:23 p.m., a CHP dispatcher said. The two left lanes were blocked but no injuries were reported, the dispatcher said.

The stacking of cars occurred when some of the drivers hit their brakes, causing their vehicles to lodge underneath the rear fenders of the car in front of them, the CHP reported.

Vehicles involved in the crash included a red Subaru Legacy, a blue Honda Civic, a beige Hyundai Sonata and a Ford vehicle, according to the dispatcher.

A Sig-alert was issued at 4:34 p.m. and canceled at 5:38 p.m.
