A traffic collision involving a single vehicle occurred today on the northbound lanes of State Route 14 near Agua Dulce Canyon Road in Santa Clarita, CA. The incident was reported at approximately 7:44 AM when a white Mercedes collided with a concrete divider, causing the vehicle to spin out and block the high-occupancy vehicle lane.

Emergency services responded promptly to the scene, where it was determined that the vehicle required towing due to oil spilled on the roadway. As a result, the first and HOV lanes were temporarily closed to facilitate cleanup and towing operations. A tow truck was dispatched, and additional resources were called in to address the oil spill, which extended approximately 100 feet along the roadway.

A significant traffic alert was issued shortly after the incident, warning drivers of lane closures and potential delays. The situation was resolved by 9:01 AM, allowing traffic to resume normal flow. The status of any injuries remains unknown.

Motorists are advised to remain cautious and aware of road conditions, especially in areas prone to similar incidents. The California Highway Patrol continues to monitor the situation and ensure safety for all travelers on the road.
