A single-vehicle accident occurred today on Bennett Valley Road in Santa Rosa, CA, when a Dodge slid off the roadway and into a ditch. The incident took place at approximately 10:01 AM, prompting a swift response from emergency services. The driver was able to exit the vehicle without assistance, and the nature of any injuries remains unknown.
The vehicle was found upright, approximately five feet off the roadway. A tow truck was requested to assist with the recovery of the Dodge from the ditch. Initial attempts to secure a towing service faced some difficulties, as the first company indicated they did not have the call. Another towing service was contacted, but they were located far away in Novato, leading to a delay in assistance.
By 10:54 AM, a local towing company was reached for an estimated time of arrival. A tow truck eventually arrived on the scene to facilitate the removal of the vehicle. Traffic in the area was minimally impacted, with no lane closures reported during the incident.
Motorists are reminded to exercise caution in adverse weather conditions that can lead to slippery roads and potential accidents. The California Highway Patrol encourages all drivers to remain vigilant and prioritize safety while traveling.
