A solo vehicle traffic collision occurred today at 524 Carlton Road in Watsonville, CA, with the vehicle landing on its passenger side. Emergency services arrived at the scene around 6:23 PM to find the driver, a male occupant, conscious but possibly in shock or suffering from a concussion. Fortunately, there were no visible injuries reported, although the exact nature of any injuries remains unknown.
The incident took place in a very dark area, which may have contributed to the circumstances of the collision. Witnesses reported uncertainty about the involvement of any additional vehicles, with one individual stating they had pulled over in a black Honda but were not involved in the incident.
A tow truck was called to the scene to remove the vehicle, which was successfully towed by 6:26 PM. However, the recovery process necessitated the temporary closure of Carlton Road at the intersection with Thomson Road, impacting traffic flow in the area. The road remained shut down for vehicle recovery until approximately 7:37 PM.
Motorists are advised to exercise caution when traveling in the area, especially during low visibility conditions. The California Highway Patrol is working to gather more information regarding the circumstances surrounding this incident.
