A single-vehicle accident occurred early this morning on State Route 14 South near Escondido Canyon Road in Acton, CA, when a 2009 Volkswagen GTI overturned, blocking multiple lanes. The incident was reported at approximately 1:44 AM, prompting an immediate response from emergency services.

Upon arrival, responders found the vehicle on its roof, with debris scattered across the roadway. The driver was seen walking around the vehicle, and while the status of any injuries remains unknown, the situation created a significant hazard for other motorists.

Traffic was heavily impacted as all lanes were initially closed to ensure safety and facilitate the response. A pothole, approximately three feet wide and half a foot deep, was identified as a contributing factor to the accident, posing an immediate danger to other vehicles.

Caltrans was notified and arrived on the scene to address the pothole issue, which extended a crack approximately 50 feet along the roadway. A traffic break was implemented to allow for repairs, and by 3:35 AM, the roadway was cleared, and traffic was allowed to resume.

A tow truck was called to remove the overturned vehicle, and the situation was resolved without any reported injuries. Motorists are advised to remain cautious in the area due to ongoing road maintenance.
