Woman in Prius Injured in Accident

CHP officials reported a woman in the Prius was hurt and crying in the background, but there was a language barrier making it difficult for dispatchers to get information about the incident. Paramedics from Mountain View Fire Department responded to help the injured woman, who had minor injuries.

Meanwhile, tow trucks from National Towing and EDS Towing removed the two vehicles from the crash scene. The Tesla had minor rear-end damage and the Prius had moderate front-end damage after the Mountain View accident on the 101 Freeway.

Finally, investigators are working on the case to determine fault, but initial findings indicate the Tesla was rear-ended by the Prius and could be held liable for the collision.
