A traffic collision involving two vehicles occurred today at the intersection of State Route 1 North and Aguajito in Monterey, CA. The incident happened around 10:31 AM when a white van veered off the road, colliding with a fence and a light pole. This resulted in damage to both the vehicles and the surrounding infrastructure.
Emergency services responded promptly to the scene. While initial reports indicated minor injuries, the current status of injuries remains unknown. A tow truck was called to remove the vehicles involved, including the white van and an unknown vehicle that sustained damage in the collision.
Traffic management was effectively implemented to ensure the safety of motorists. Several lanes were temporarily closed due to the fallen light pole, which blocked multiple lanes and caused a brief disruption in traffic flow. Authorities diverted traffic onto Aguajito Road to minimize delays.
As of 11:52 AM, all lanes have been reopened, and the necessary repairs to the damaged fence and light pole will be addressed by the appropriate agencies. Motorists are advised to exercise caution in the area as cleanup efforts continue.
