The incident involved a dark Honda Civic, which lost control and struck a concrete barrier. Fortunately, no injuries were reported as a result of the crash.
Emergency services were alerted shortly after the collision, and California Highway Patrol (CHP) units arrived on the scene by 5:25 AM. Initial reports suggested potential injuries, prompting a precautionary ambulance request. However, it was later confirmed that no medical assistance was needed, and the situation was reclassified to a traffic collision with no injuries.
The vehicle was deemed undriveable due to the damage sustained in the incident. A tow truck was called to the scene to remove the Honda Civic, which was successfully moved to the shoulder of the highway. The area was cleared by 6:25 AM, allowing traffic to resume its normal flow.
Witnesses reported that the driver lost control of the vehicle before colliding with the barrier, resulting in approximately 20 feet of scrape damage to the concrete. The quick response from emergency services ensured that the scene was managed efficiently, minimizing any potential traffic disruptions.
As the morning commute began, the CHP worked diligently to ensure safety and clear the roadway. Drivers in the area were advised to remain cautious and watch for any residual debris from the incident.
