Four Vehicles Involved in Major-Injury Crash on Southbound 101 in Loleta Early This Morning

Four vehicles were involved in major-injury crash on the southbound side of Highway 101 near the Loleta Drive offramp around 12:48 a.m.

According to the California Highway Patrol incident report, a pickup truck was traveling 90 mph before hitting the center divider and rolling over onto its top.

Three other vehicles were also involved, though it’s not clear what caused the multi-vehicle crash.

Traffic was diverted to an offramp and back onto the freeway as emergency crews cleared the roadway.

We will update if we learn more.
