Roadwork is affecting traffic in the region

  • A traffic collision happened at 3:10 a.m. today at 1905 Smith Grade. A vehicle hit an embankment, but there were no injuries. The father of the 17-year-old involved called to ask about the situation, upset about not being informed sooner. A towing service was called, and there was a disagreement over the $700 fee to release the vehicle.
     
  • The southbound lanes of Highway 1 in Capitola/Soquel are facing closures for road excavation. This closure will continue until August 29 at 6:30 a.m.
