A traffic incident occurred today on US Highway 101 North near the South Seaward Avenue off-ramp in Ventura, California, when a white Subaru Outback struck a piece of wood that had fallen onto the roadway. Fortunately, there were no injuries reported from this incident.
Emergency services responded to the scene shortly after the collision, which took place around 1:34 PM. The wood became lodged in the Subaru, and a tow truck was requested to assist in removing the debris and the vehicle from the road. It was noted that a truck, which may have lost the wood, had exited the highway shortly before the incident, but no injuries were reported from that vehicle either.
The Subaru Outback sustained damage, including a punctured tire, due to the collision with the wood. By 2:01 PM, a tow truck was en route to the location to help clear the area.
While the roadway remained open, drivers in the vicinity were advised to exercise caution as emergency services managed the situation. This incident highlights the importance of road safety and the potential hazards posed by debris on highways.
