A traffic collision on State Route 126 (SR-126) in Piru, CA, caused significant traffic disruptions today. The incident occurred around 2:38 PM when a single vehicle lost control and veered off the roadway. Emergency units responded quickly to manage the scene and control traffic flow.
The affected vehicle was involved in a solo collision, which required recovery operations that temporarily closed the eastbound lanes of SR-126. This led to noticeable delays for drivers in the area as traffic was diverted. Fortunately, the lanes were reopened by approximately 3:30 PM, allowing for a return to normal traffic patterns.
The California Highway Patrol was on-site to oversee the recovery efforts and ensure safety during the incident. A tow truck was called to assist with the vehicle's removal from the field where it had come to rest after losing control. The prompt response from emergency units helped minimize disruption to the afternoon commute.
Motorists traveling on SR-126 are advised to remain cautious and be aware of potential residual delays as traffic resumes its normal flow. This incident highlights the importance of safe driving practices, especially during busy travel times.
