On February 2, 2021, at approximately 4:55 A.M., a solo vehicle collision occurred on U.S. 101 Northbound, south of the Santa Ynez Avenue over-crossing involving a 2013 Freightliner tractor-trailer.
The tractor-trailer, driven by Martin Garcia, was traveling northbound, approaching the over-crossing when it made an unsafe turning movement and veered to the right upon the roadway. The tractor-trailer collided with the guardrail and with the side portion of the concrete over-crossing.
The truck continued in a northeasterly direction across the right shoulder and through a fence which separates the U.S. 101 Northbound lanes from residences in Carpinteria. The tractor came to rest within a private driveway on Cramer Circle and the trailer came to rest on its left side upon the right shoulder of U.S. 101 Northbound.
Mr. Garcia sustained minor injuries as a result of the collision and was transported to the Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital. “
The full report is attached below.
