A single-vehicle accident occurred early this morning on Piuma Road in Calabasas, CA, when a car went off the road and landed in a ditch. The incident took place at approximately 5:01 AM, prompting a rapid response from emergency services, including the Los Angeles County Fire Department.
Upon arrival, emergency personnel discovered the vehicle lodged in the ditch. Fortunately, there were no reported injuries to the driver or any passengers. The vehicle was deemed undriveable, necessitating the need for towing services to remove it from the ditch.
Despite the swift response from emergency teams, complications arose with the towing services throughout the morning. The vehicle remained in the ditch for several hours due to difficulties in coordinating the recovery. By 1:15 PM, a different towing service was finally en route to recover the vehicle, with an estimated arrival time of 30 minutes.
The incident did not cause significant traffic disruption, as Piuma Road was not blocked by the vehicle. However, the extended recovery efforts drew attention from local residents and passersby. The vehicle, identified as a Honda, was approximately 20 feet into the ditch, complicating the recovery process.
Authorities have stressed the importance of safe driving practices, especially during early morning hours when visibility may be limited. The California Highway Patrol is investigating the circumstances surrounding the accident to determine how the vehicle left the roadway.
As of now, the vehicle remains in the ditch until the towing service arrives to complete the recovery. Motorists are advised to exercise caution when traveling in the area and to be aware of potential delays as the recovery operation is underway.
