Tuesday afternoon brought a scare to drivers on southbound Highway 101, just north of the Highway 1 junction, when a single vehicle rolled off the roadway. According to the Santa Barbara County Fire Department, two people were transported from the scene—one with major injuries and one with minor injuries. Our thoughts are with them and their families as they recover.
This stretch of the 101, where it meets the agricultural lands and rolling hills near Buellton, can be deceptively tricky, especially with the afternoon sun glare and winding curves. It's a reminder for all of us to slow down, buckle up, and stay alert, even on familiar roads. We're grateful to the first responders who acted quickly. For the latest updates, keep an eye on KEYT News Channel 3-12, who first reported this incident. Let's look out for one another out there, Central Coast.
