On August [XXX], 2026 at 9:01 AM PDT a Waymo Autonomous Vehicle ("Waymo AV") operating in Mountain View, California was in a collision involving a heavy truck in a parking lot driveway off of [XXX] near [XXX].

The Waymo AV was traveling southbound in a parking lot driveway off of [XXX] when it began slowing to yield for a queue of traffic stopped at a red light at the intersection with [XXX]. A heavy truck, facing northwest in the adjacent left lane of opposing traffic, was stopped partially in the southbound lane of the parking lot driveway. As the Waymo AV was slowing, the heavy truck proceeded forward, and the Waymo AV maneuvered to the right and slowed to a stop near the south curb to yield.. As the heavy truck was passing the Waymo AV, the heavy truck initiated a right turn to continue into the parking lot, and the rear left side of the heavy truck made contact with the front left side of the stationary Waymo AV. At the time of the impact, the Waymo AV's Level 4 ADS was engaged in autonomous mode. The Waymo AV sustained damage.

Waymo is reporting this crash under Request No. 1 of Standing General Order 2021-01 because a vehicle involved was towed away. Waymo may supplement or correct its reporting with additional information as it may become available.
