A traffic collision occurred today on the northbound side of U.S. Highway 101 near King City, CA, when a van lost control and rolled down an embankment. The incident was reported around 8:30 AM, with witnesses noting that the van crossed the center divider before descending into an agricultural field approximately 200 feet below the roadway.
Emergency services responded promptly to the scene, where they discovered the vehicle significantly damaged and not drivable. One individual was transported to a nearby medical facility for treatment. The status of any other individuals involved in the incident remains unclear.
Due to the vehicle's condition, it was left at the scene overnight for recovery. A tow truck was requested but was unable to retrieve the van today. The towing service plans to return with heavier equipment tomorrow to safely recover the vehicle from the embankment. The ranch manager of Herbert Ranch, where the van came to rest, was informed and agreed to allow the vehicle to remain on the property overnight.
Motorists traveling on U.S. Highway 101 should be aware of potential delays as emergency services manage the situation and prepare for the vehicle's recovery. Authorities advise drivers to exercise caution in the area while navigating around the scene.
