A solo vehicle collision occurred today on the southbound lanes of U.S. Highway 101 near the Five Cities Drive off-ramp in Pismo Beach, CA. The incident was reported at approximately 12:24 PM and involved only one vehicle, resulting in no injuries. Debris from the collision obstructed the roadway, leading to traffic delays.
Emergency services quickly responded to the scene to manage the situation. A tow truck was called to assist with the vehicle removal, and the California Department of Transportation was notified to handle the cleanup of dirt and debris that spread across the roadway and the on-ramp. Initially, both lanes of traffic were closed to ensure the safety of the cleanup crews.
By 2:13 PM, traffic began to resume as the situation improved, with the lanes reopening shortly thereafter. However, the Price Street on-ramp was temporarily closed for further cleanup efforts. The on-ramp was finally reopened by 2:44 PM, allowing for normal traffic flow to resume in the area.
Motorists traveling through Pismo Beach are advised to remain cautious and aware of potential delays as cleanup operations were underway earlier in the day. Fortunately, no injuries were reported, and the roadway has since been cleared, restoring normal traffic conditions.
