San Juan Bautista, CA (November 2, 2024) – A traffic accident occurred early this morning on the eastbound lanes of SR-156, just east of US-101, resulting in injuries. At approximately 4:21 AM, emergency responders were alerted to the scene of a collision involving a semi-truck and a white four-door SUV.
Preliminary reports indicate that the accident caused significant disruption, blocking both lanes of traffic. Witnesses described the scene as chaotic, with debris scattered across the roadway and the driver of the semi-truck reportedly running back and forth across the road. The wet conditions of the roadway may have contributed to the severity of the incident.
Emergency responders from San Juan Bautista Fire and Rescue arrived promptly to assess the situation and provide assistance. Reports suggested that at least one person was trapped in their vehicle, prompting urgent rescue efforts. Firefighters worked alongside towing services to safely extricate the individual and clear the wreckage from the scene.
According to the California Highway Patrol, approximately 300 feet of the concrete barrier sustained superficial damage due to the collision. The roadway was temporarily closed as crews worked to remove the vehicles and debris, leading to delays for motorists in the area.
At least one person was transported to a local hospital for medical evaluation and treatment. The specific details regarding the extent of the injuries have not yet been released, and the investigation into the cause of the accident is ongoing.
