What was reported

On January [XXX], 2026 at 1:18 PM MT a Waymo Autonomous Vehicle ("Waymo AV") operating in Denver, Colorado was in a collision involving a pickup truck on [XXX] near [XXX]. The Waymo AV was traveling eastbound through a construction zone on [XXX] in autonomous mode when it began to maneuver to the right, towards the south curb. As the Waymo AV was maneuvering, the test driver transitioned the Waymo AV to manual mode. The test driver began maneuvering the Waymo AV closer to the curb, briefly accelerated forward, and then began braking. The front of the Waymo AV then made contact with the rear of a pickup truck that was parked facing east at the curb in front of the Waymo AV. At the time of the impact, the Waymo AV's Level 4 ADS was not engaged and a test driver was operating the Waymo AV in manual mode. The Waymo AV sustained damage. Waymo is reporting this crash under Request No. 2 of Standing General Order 2021-01. Waymo may supplement or correct its reporting with additional information as it may become available.
