Two women were injured after a five-vehicle collision in Ventura County on Tuesday afternoon, July 9, 2024.
According to the California Highway Patrol, the crash happened around 12:10 p.m. on southbound 101 near Lakeview Canyon Road.
Authorities stated that five unspecified vehicles were involved in the collision. The incident began when one vehicle collided with another, and the other three ended up on sloped terrain off the side of the freeway. One vehicle ran off the road north of Lakeview, while two other vehicles did so in the opposite direction. The fourth vehicle struck a tree while the fifth overturned.
The crash displaced a wasp nest. Consequently, in order to control wasps, firefighters used foam to surround one of the three cars that veered off southbound Highway 101 during a five-vehicle collision.
Two women with minor to moderate injuries were transported by ambulance to Los Robles Regional Medical Center. There is no word yet on their identities as well as on their current condition.
Investigators are still gathering all the necessary information to determine how the incident occurred. Witnesses are encouraged to contact the police and help with the investigation.
No further details were provided as of this writing.
Don’t Know What To Do After An Accident?
Your safety and rights depend on what you do next after an accident. Remember the following steps if you find yourself in one:
- Check yourself for any injuries.
- Stay on the scene, call 9-1-1, and wait for emergency responders.
- Move your vehicle to the road shoulder if safe; turn on hazard lights.
- Fully cooperate with law enforcement and stay until cleared to leave.
- Document the scene and injuries with photos and videos.
- Seek immediate medical attention.

What A Lawyer Can Do For You
Many victims put off calling a lawyer even if they sustain injuries after an accident. However, lawyers can help you in many ways. They can provide you with police reports, CCTV footage, and witness statements to strengthen your case. Your attorney will also negotiate with insurance companies to get you fair compensation. The best part is that they will do all of these things for you at no upfront cost. So if you’re injured in an accident, hire a personal injury attorney to recover medical bills, car repair costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
