A motorhome traveling the wrong way on the roadway caused a minor injury collision in Ventura, CA, late last night. The incident occurred around 9:40 PM on November 21, 2024, at the intersection of Victoria Avenue and Olivas Park Drive.
According to the California Highway Patrol, the motorhome was moving northbound in the southbound lanes when it veered off the right side of the road. Emergency services were quickly dispatched, and multiple units arrived at the scene shortly after the initial report. Upon assessment, it was confirmed that there were minor injuries, although specific details about the injuries were not provided.
The motorhome was rendered undriveable and ended up off the roadway, necessitating towing services for retrieval. However, the towing process faced delays throughout the night. Initial attempts to secure a tow truck were complicated by limited availability from local towing companies. Emergency responders logged updates, indicating that the motorhome was visible from the roadway but could not be retrieved until a tow truck became available.
By early morning on November 22, 2024, the situation was cleared, and the motorhome was successfully towed from the scene. Fortunately, no serious injuries were reported, and traffic was able to resume normal operations after the incident was resolved.
This incident highlights the dangers of wrong-way driving and serves as a reminder for all motorists to adhere to traffic laws. The California Highway Patrol continues to urge drivers to remain vigilant on the roads to prevent similar occurrences in the future.
As investigations continue, authorities will analyze the circumstances surrounding the collision to enhance roadway safety measures. Motorists are encouraged to stay informed about traffic conditions and report any unsafe driving behavior to local law enforcement.
