A single-vehicle traffic collision occurred today on the southbound lanes of U.S. Highway 101 near the Airport Boulevard on-ramp in Santa Rosa, CA. The incident took place around 6:47 AM when a small Honda sedan lost control and went off the roadway. Witnesses reported that the vehicle spun out at a high rate of speed before crashing through a guard rail and coming to rest in a nearby vineyard.
Emergency services responded quickly to the scene. Fortunately, there were no reported injuries, although the airbags in the vehicle deployed. A tow truck was called to remove the non-drivable Honda sedan from the area.
As a result of the collision, temporary lane closures were implemented on the southbound side of U.S. Highway 101, which may have caused minor delays for morning commuters. The Department of Transportation Control Center was notified to assist with traffic management and ensure the safe removal of the vehicle.
Motorists are advised to exercise caution in the area as cleanup operations continue. The cause of the loss of control is still under review, but the swift response from emergency services helped to minimize potential traffic disruptions.
