A single-vehicle accident occurred early today at the intersection of State Route 58 and the Monolith Cement Plant in Mojave, CA. The incident took place around 12:47 AM when the vehicle overturned in the center median. Emergency services responded quickly, and the driver was reported to have sustained unknown injuries.
Traffic was temporarily impacted as crews worked to clear the scene. A traffic break was initiated westbound just before the Monolith Cement Plant to manage the flow of vehicles. Fortunately, all lanes were reopened by approximately 1:01 AM, allowing traffic to resume its normal pace.
Witnesses noted that a semi-truck and another vehicle had pulled over to assist at the scene. The driver of the overturned vehicle was the sole occupant and was visibly upset, with reports indicating a hand injury. However, the specifics of any additional injuries remain unclear.
A tow truck was requested to remove the overturned vehicle from the roadway, and the California Highway Patrol later classified the incident as a minor injury traffic collision. The situation was resolved without further complications, and the vehicle was entered into the appropriate storage records by local authorities.
Motorists are reminded to exercise caution in the area and to be aware of changing road conditions, especially during early morning hours.
