4 Drivers Hospitalized in Multi-Car Crash on Southbound State Highway 1 [Watsonville, CA]

4 People Injured After Chain-Reaction Collision on Southbound State Highway 1

 
Watsonville, CA (July 5, 2020) – On Friday, 4 people were injured in a multi-car crash on southbound state Highway 1.
 
The accident involving multiple vehicles happened at around 1 p.m. just south of Harkins Slough.
 
A truck pulling a broken disc harrow sparked a fire and came to an emergency stop. As usual, the three cars behind it also stopped. But a van behind the cars failed to stop.
 
As a result, the van crashed into the car in front of it and caused a chain reaction.
 
The drivers of the three cars and the van were hospitalized. Two of them suffered major injuries, while the other two sustained moderate injuries from the crash.
 
Drugs nor alcohol were not a factor in the incident.
 
Always be a defensive driver. Remember that we share the same road with other drivers.
