A single-vehicle rollover incident occurred today on the southbound lanes of US Highway 101 near State Route 146 in Soledad, CA. The accident happened around 5:51 PM when a red Nissan Rogue rolled over and came to rest on its side, approximately 20 yards off the right-hand side of the roadway.
Emergency services arrived promptly at the scene, where the driver was observed trying to exit the vehicle. While initial reports indicated no injuries, updates later classified the situation as involving unknown injuries. The driver was seen walking around the area, but no one was reported exiting the vehicle immediately after the rollover.
Due to the vehicle's position, a tow truck was requested to assist in removing the overturned Nissan Rogue. The vehicle was located approximately 10 feet down a drainage culvert, which required special equipment for safe extraction.
