A serious multi-vehicle accident disrupted traffic and sent at least one individual to the hospital Tuesday evening following a collision at Ranchito Drive and County Road G17 (also known as River Road), according to the California Highway Patrol.
The crash occurred at approximately 5:56 p.m., involving at least three vehicles, including a Tesla sedan and a Toyota pickup truck. The details leading up to the collision remain under investigation, but preliminary reports indicate that the impact caused significant damage and prompted immediate concern for those involved.
Witnesses reported that the driver of the pickup truck exited the vehicle and sat along the side of the road, appearing to be suffering from a leg injury. Meanwhile, bystanders assisted a female motorist in exiting her vehicle, suggesting she may have been trapped or disoriented following the crash.
Emergency responders, including firefighters and paramedics, were quickly dispatched to the scene and began assessing and treating injuries. At least one person sustained a head laceration and was transported to Natividad Medical Center for further care. The severity of that injury—and whether it involved any long-term trauma—has not yet been confirmed.
The conditions of the other drivers and passengers involved remain unknown at this time. Due to the complexity of the scene and the need for rescue operations, authorities temporarily closed the affected portion of the roadway to ensure the safety of both victims and responders.
Investigators from the California Highway Patrol are actively working to determine the cause of the accident. It remains unclear whether factors such as speed, distracted driving, weather conditions, or mechanical failure contributed to the incident.
This collision adds to the growing concern about roadway safety on River Road, a busy commuter route with a history of accidents. Residents and drivers are urged to remain vigilant, particularly during evening hours when visibility may be reduced.
