The incident took place around 5:41 PM when a black Jeep overturned after making contact with a barrier. Emergency response teams, including the California Highway Patrol (CHP) and local agencies, quickly arrived at the scene to manage the situation.
The overturned Jeep was righted shortly after the collision, but the incident caused significant traffic disruptions in the area.
