A nighttime collision involving two vehicles resulted in minor injuries Tuesday near the intersection of Salinas Road and Werner Road, according to the California Highway Patrol.
The incident was first reported at approximately 8:42 p.m. when witnesses alerted authorities to a crash involving two vehicles along Salinas Road, a heavily traveled route in the Watsonville area. The exact nature of the collision and how it occurred has not yet been confirmed by officials.
Emergency responders quickly arrived on scene to assess the situation and provide medical assistance. One person was treated for minor injuries at the scene. It remains unclear whether that individual required transport to a nearby hospital for further evaluation or was released after receiving treatment on-site.
Both vehicles sustained damage, though the extent has not been made public. Traffic in the area may have been briefly impacted as first responders worked to clear debris and ensure the safety of passing motorists.
The California Highway Patrol has launched an investigation to determine the circumstances leading up to the crash. Factors such as speed, visibility, road conditions, and driver behavior will be considered as part of the ongoing inquiry. No arrests or citations have been announced.
While this particular incident did not result in life-threatening injuries, it underscores the importance of caution even during seemingly routine drives—especially at night when visibility is reduced and reaction times can be compromised.
