Driver Veers Into Oncoming Traffic In Lane Closure On Highway 101

AI SUMMARY: At about 11:36, CHP received a report of a traffic hazard in the 24500-24599 block of Hwy 101, where construction was reducing northbound traffic to 1 lane near Willits. The caller advised that no traffic collision occurred, but the situation needed to be addressed because a vehicle had gone into oncoming traffic. A follow-up with the reporting party confirmed that signs near Reynolds were not clear, with a sign stating the right lane was closed even though the closure was not obvious, and again noted that a vehicle entered oncoming traffic. The vehicle was described as a white or silver 4-door sedan with a blonde female driver.
