SUMMARY

A traffic collision occurred at approximately 2 p.m. on August 6, 2017, on SR-154 east of Painted Cave Road. The collision involved a 2015 Toyota traveling eastbound at an unknown speed. The driver made an unsafe turning movement to the right and the front of the Toyota subsequently collided with an asphalt curb. After the first collision, the Toyota overturned down a dirt hill and came to rest on its wheels. Both parties remained trapped in the vehicle until emergency personnel arrived and transported them to Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital for injuries sustained from the collision. The eastbound lane was closed for approximately 2 hours and traffic was diverted to the westbound side. The driver was arrested for DUI but was released to the hospital for medical care. This is an ongoing traffic collision investigation. ####
