A traffic collision occurred today on State Route 68 East near Laguna Seca in Monterey, California, involving at least two vehicles. The incident, which may have been related to a road rage situation, was reported around 9:00 AM. Witnesses observed a black Dodge van and a silver Chevrolet from the 1990s, with the latter reportedly leaving the scene before emergency services arrived.
Emergency responders quickly arrived to manage the situation, which involved a vehicle that had gone off the roadway and down an embankment. A tow truck was dispatched to assist with the recovery of the vehicle. However, complications arose when the tow truck slid down the ditch while backing up, requiring a second tow truck for extraction.
By 11:22 AM, emergency services were shutting down the eastbound lane of State Route 68 to safely extract the flatbed tow truck, directing one-way traffic during the operation. The status of any injuries related to the incident remains unknown.
Motorists in the area are advised to exercise caution and anticipate potential delays as cleanup efforts continue. Further updates will be provided as more information becomes available regarding this incident.
