A serious traffic incident occurred today on the Golden State Highway near Templin Highway in Castaic, CA, involving a single vehicle, a white Subaru Crosstrek. The vehicle was discovered down an embankment with significant damage and no visible occupants at the time of the report.
Emergency services, including the California Highway Patrol and Los Angeles County Fire Department, responded to the scene shortly after 3:54 PM. A passerby alerted authorities to the vehicle's location, approximately four miles north of Templin Highway. Witnesses indicated that the Subaru had not been seen in the area for several days, raising questions about the circumstances leading to the incident.
Upon arrival, emergency responders assessed the situation and determined that the vehicle was likely not drivable. A tow truck was requested to remove the Subaru from the embankment. The extent of any injuries remains unknown, as there were no occupants visible in the vehicle when authorities arrived.
Investigators are working to determine whether the Subaru came from the Golden State Highway or another nearby road. The vehicle's position high in the canyon suggests it may have rolled off the freeway into a small ravine adjacent to the old road.
Traffic in the area may be affected as emergency crews work to secure the scene and facilitate the towing of the vehicle. Motorists are advised to exercise caution when traveling through this section of the highway.
This incident serves as a reminder of the potential dangers associated with vehicle collisions and the importance of road safety. Further updates will be provided as the investigation continues and more information becomes available regarding the vehicle and its occupants.
