A traffic collision involving a gray Honda occurred early this morning on San Francisquito Canyon Road near Forest Route 6N24 in Santa Clarita, CA. The incident was reported at approximately 5:04 AM when the vehicle went off the roadway and landed in a ditch about 15 feet down an embankment.
Emergency services quickly responded to the scene after a good Samaritan called in the incident. Upon arrival, responders found the driver, a male, who had exited the vehicle and was observed limping. The driver was not in immediate danger, but the status of any injuries remains unknown.
A tow truck was requested to recover the gray Honda, which was not drivable. The vehicle was located approximately two miles north of the nearest fire station, making the tow service's response more challenging due to the terrain and lack of cell service in the area. As of 6:42 AM, the tow service was still working to provide an estimated time of arrival.
Motorists traveling on San Francisquito Canyon Road should be aware of potential delays as emergency crews work to clear the scene and recover the vehicle. Drivers are advised to exercise caution and consider alternative routes if possible.
This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of safe driving, particularly in areas with challenging road conditions.
