A single-vehicle incident occurred today on the eastbound side of State Route 4 at Pacheco Boulevard in Martinez, California. The incident involved a black Toyota Prius that spun out and became stuck in water on the right-hand side of the highway. Fortunately, there were no injuries reported as emergency services quickly responded to the scene.
The incident was first reported at approximately 6:53 AM when the vehicle was noted to be unable to open its doors due to flooding conditions. Emergency responders assessed the situation and determined that the water was approximately two feet deep. A tow truck was called to assist in removing the vehicle from its position.
By 7:06 AM, the tow truck arrived and prepared to extract the Toyota Prius, requiring additional equipment to safely pull the vehicle from the water. The Department of Transportation Control Center was also notified to monitor the situation and assist with traffic management.
While the incident did not result in injuries, it did cause some disruption to traffic flow in the area. Drivers were advised to exercise caution when approaching the scene. The vehicle was successfully towed away, and normal traffic conditions are expected to resume shortly.
