A motorcycle accident occurred today at the intersection of State Route 25 and Carrisa Grade in Gilroy, CA, resulting in at least one reported injury. The incident took place around 1:24 PM when the motorcycle collided with a muddy area on the roadway, prompting emergency services to respond quickly.
Upon arrival, emergency responders assessed the situation and requested an ambulance for the injured individual. The muddy conditions on the road were significant enough to require intervention from Caltrans, who were notified to address the hazardous area.
