What was reported
On May [XXX], 2026 at 6:44 AM PT a Waymo Autonomous Vehicle ("Waymo AV") operating in Los Angeles, California was in a collision involving a pickup truck on [XXX] near {XXX}. The Waymo AV was traveling southbound in the right lane on {XXX] in autonomous mode when it began to slow for a queue of traffic stopped for a red light at the intersection with [XXX]. As the Waymo AV was slowing, the Waymo AV transitioned to manual mode and the test driver maneuvered to the right and accelerated forward. As the test driver maneuvered the Waymo AV to pass to the right of a pickup truck that was stopped facing south in the right lane in the queue of traffic ahead, the front left side of the Waymo AV made contact with the rear right side of the pickup truck, the front of the Waymo AV made contact with the west curb of {XXX], and the front right side of the Waymo AV made contact with a street light pole near the curb. 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. Both vehicles sustained damage. The test driver of the Waymo AV was transported to a hospital by an ambulance with moderate injuries. Waymo is reporting this crash under Request No. 1 of Standing General Order 2021-01 because an individual involved was transported from the scene to a hospital for medical treatment.
