A single-vehicle accident occurred today on Pescadero Creek Road near Jones Gulch Road in Loma Mar, CA, at approximately 4:14 PM. Emergency services were dispatched shortly after the incident was reported, and by 4:30 PM, responders confirmed that the vehicle had rolled down a steep embankment, approximately 200 feet from the roadway.
The incident was classified as a solo traffic collision, and there were no reported injuries. However, due to the challenging terrain and the location of the vehicle, recovery efforts required specialized equipment. A heavy-duty tow truck was requested to assist with the extraction, as the vehicle was too far down the embankment to be retrieved safely without proper equipment.
Multiple emergency units, including fire services, were on the scene to manage the situation and ensure the safety of all involved. Communication between units was ongoing, with updates provided throughout the incident. By 5:49 PM, it was confirmed that the recovery of the vehicle would take place the following morning, as daylight was necessary for safe extraction operations.
The tow service indicated that they would return to the site at 8:00 AM tomorrow to begin recovery efforts. While the area experienced some traffic disruption, no significant delays were reported. Emergency responders maintained a presence at the scene to monitor the situation and assist as needed.
Authorities are reminding drivers to exercise caution in steep and rugged areas, especially during adverse weather conditions. The California Highway Patrol is expected to provide further updates regarding the recovery process and any additional findings related to the incident.
For those traveling in the Loma Mar area, it is advisable to remain alert and follow any detours or instructions from traffic management personnel. Safety remains a priority as recovery efforts are set to commence in the morning.
