What was reported

On July [XXX], 2026 at 9:34 AM CDT a Waymo Autonomous Vehicle ("Waymo AV") operating in Austin, Texas was in a collision involving a heavy truck on [XXX] near [XXX]. The Waymo AV was traveling northwestbound on [XXX] when it began slowing to yield for a garbage truck stopped with its left turn signal activated, facing northwest on [XXX] and partially in the T-intersection with [XXX], in the Waymo AV's lane of travel. The Waymo AV slowed to a stop behind the garbage truck, and the garbage truck began reversing.
