A traffic collision occurred today on State Route 1 in Santa Cruz, CA, causing significant disruptions during the morning commute. The incident involved one vehicle, which rolled onto its roof and came to rest on its side, partially off the roadway and down an embankment. This position rendered the vehicle non-drivable, necessitating a tow truck for removal.
Emergency responders arrived on the scene shortly after the collision was reported at approximately 5:44 AM. They implemented traffic management measures to ensure the safety of motorists and control the flow of traffic.
