Officers propped up this plowed-down traffic sign so that it would still be useful to motorists.

The California Highway Patrol and paramedics are responding to a crash involving several vehicles on northbound Highway 101 just south of Samoa Boulevard. At least one of the cars left the roadway and went into a field. A witness tells the Outpost that the car had flipped all the way around before coming to rest off the roadway.

Ambulances on scene report that no one was injured in the crash.
