PALO ALTO, CA (April 21, 2020)—One person died Monday following a multi-vehicle rollover accident on Highway 101 near Embarcadero Road.
 
According to the California Highway Patrol, the first call came in around 4:24 p.m. and purportedly involved a Toyota Prius, yellow Ford Mustang and Chevrolet SUV.
