A traffic collision involving a black Toyota RAV4 occurred today on State Route 4 East near Bailey Road in Bay Point, California. The incident took place around 8:53 AM when the vehicle collided with a guardrail, causing the RAV4 to flip over. Fortunately, the vehicle landed on its wheels, and emergency services responded promptly to the scene.
There were three occupants in the vehicle, and no injuries have been reported. However, the RAV4 was rendered undriveable and required a tow truck for removal. The California Highway Patrol arrived shortly after the incident was reported to ensure the safety of all involved.
The collision also caused damage to a guardrail and a light pole, prompting a request for a Caltrans crew to address the fallen infrastructure.
