Road incidents as of 8:30 p.m. on Feb. 25
- A gray Nissan 350 went off the road into heavy vegetation near a blind curve at Buena Vista Dr and Whiskey Hill Rd in Watsonville/Pajaro. Initially, it was unclear if there were any injuries, but it was later confirmed that there were none. Both lanes were closed to recover the vehicle, and a tow service was called. The car was about 20-30 feet off the road, and friends of the driver stopped in two vehicles. The California Highway Patrol and the Santa Cruz Sheriff’s Office handled the incident. This was reported today.
