A single vehicle rollover incident occurred today on the southbound lanes of US Highway 101 near Dunbarton in Aromas, CA. The accident involved a gray Hyundai Tucson, which reportedly hydroplaned before hitting an embankment and rolling over. Emergency services responded promptly to the scene, and there were no injuries reported.
At approximately 7:08 PM, a red Tesla was noted at the scene, but its involvement in the rollover remains uncertain. The gray Hyundai Tucson was found on the right shoulder of the highway with its door open.
Traffic was affected as the second lane was closed while emergency responders worked to clear the area. A tow truck was initially requested to assist with the vehicle removal, but this request was later canceled. By 7:48 PM, the roadway was reported clear, allowing traffic to resume normal flow.
Motorists are reminded to exercise caution during inclement weather conditions, as hydroplaning can lead to dangerous situations on the road. The California Highway Patrol encourages drivers to remain vigilant and adjust their driving habits accordingly to ensure safety for all road users.
This incident underscores the importance of safe driving practices, especially during adverse weather conditions, to prevent accidents and protect everyone on the road.
