A traffic collision occurred today on San Miguel Canyon Road at Vega Road in Watsonville, CA, leading to significant traffic disruptions. The incident involved one vehicle that ended up in a ditch, rendering it undriveable and necessitating recovery by tow services. As a result, both lanes of San Miguel Canyon Road have been closed to facilitate the recovery operation.
Emergency response units arrived at the scene shortly after the incident was reported at approximately 8:31 PM. They worked to manage the situation and control traffic flow.

A tow truck was dispatched to the scene to recover the vehicle, which was located approximately 20 feet into the ditch. Due to the vehicle's position, a second tow truck was later requested to assist with the recovery process.
