Semi Truck Collision on Hwy 101 North in Carpinteria
By an edhat reader
So, this just happened in Carp between Santa Monica and Santa Claus, northbound. Traffic was already bad, even on sideroads. I watched from a bus stop on Via Real. He was going too fast to stop with traffic in front of him.
Fortunately he was in the right lane and able to veer onto the shoulder to avoid the cars in front of him. Unfortunately, they just recently put in that lovely palm tree. Don't head this way if it can be avoided. It's ugly.

Jun 24, 2022 10:37 PMWhen did deregulation take place? We were involved in an accident caused by a semi-truck in the summer of 1968, and it seemed common then.

It's not an obvious thing unless you drive it often.
Accidents will continue to happen at that location.
