A solo vehicle accident occurred today at approximately 1:44 PM on State Route 108 near Lancaster Road in Oakdale, CA. The incident involved a pickup truck that missed a curve and veered off the roadway, resulting in minor injuries to the driver. Emergency services were promptly notified, and responders arrived at the scene by 2:08 PM.
Upon arrival, emergency personnel assessed the situation and confirmed that the driver sustained minor injuries. The pickup truck, however, was found down an embankment and was not drivable, requiring towing assistance. Due to the vehicle's location and weight, a tow truck was called to recover the pickup truck, which was reported to be fully loaded with equipment and stuck in the mud.
Reliable Tow was engaged to assist with the recovery, but they indicated that the vehicle was too heavy to retrieve from its precarious position down the embankment. The California Highway Patrol cleared the scene by 2:10 PM, ensuring that the roadway was safe for other drivers. However, the incident caused temporary traffic disruptions as emergency services worked to manage the situation and recover the vehicle.
Motorists traveling on State Route 108 should remain cautious in the area as recovery efforts continue.
