A traffic collision on US Highway 101 South in Goleta, CA, caused significant traffic delays during the morning commute today. The incident occurred around 6:30 AM and involved two vehicles: one that spun out and overturned, ending up on its roof, and a second vehicle described as a Trailblazer.
The overturned vehicle required towing, which led to a blockage in the slow lane and middle lane of the highway.

By 7:04 AM, officials confirmed that two lanes were blocked, further impacting traffic conditions. However, by 7:41 AM, a police unit confirmed that all lanes were reopened, allowing traffic to resume its normal flow.
Drivers in the area were advised to remain cautious and expect potential backups as the aftermath of the traffic incident continued to clear. The prompt response from emergency services helped to minimize disruption, but the initial blockage caused significant delays for commuters during the busy morning hours.
For those traveling on US Highway 101 South, it is essential to stay updated on traffic conditions and be prepared for possible slowdowns in the vicinity of the earlier traffic collision.
