A traffic collision occurred today on State Route 166 at Black Road in Santa Maria, CA, involving a single vehicle. The incident was reported at approximately 10:03 AM, when a silver or blue vehicle rolled over and ended up on its roof in a ditch.

Emergency response teams arrived promptly to manage the scene and direct traffic, resulting in temporary lane closures and traffic restrictions. As a result, drivers experienced delays and congestion in the area during the morning commute.

Tow services were arranged for the non-drivable vehicle, which required a tow truck to safely remove it from the ditch. The presence of multiple emergency units helped to ensure that traffic was redirected effectively, minimizing the risk of further incidents.

Motorists are advised to seek alternative routes while the scene is being cleared, as traffic backups may continue until the vehicle is removed and the roadway is fully reopened.

This incident serves as a reminder for drivers to exercise caution, particularly in areas where road conditions may be impacted by accidents. For ongoing updates regarding this traffic incident and other local road conditions, residents are encouraged to follow local news sources and traffic reports.
