A driver and two construction workers were injured after a vehicle crashed into a closed section of the southbound 101 Freeway just north of West Main Street in an unincorporated area of Ventura County late Friday night, May 2, 2025.
According to the California Highway Patrol, the crash was reported at approximately 10:51 p.m. while CalTrans subcontractors were performing maintenance work in an active closure.
Authorities said a 21-year-old Oxnard man driving a blue Toyota entered the closed area and struck a construction vehicle, which was then pushed into two nearby workers.
The driver sustained major injuries and was transported to a local hospital. His condition remained unclear as of Saturday morning. A 24-year-old Bell resident was taken to a hospital with moderate injuries, while a 54-year-old Artesia man was treated at the scene for minor injuries.
Authorities confirmed that alcohol was a contributing factor in the crash.
The incident remains under investigation.
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.
- Contact your insurance company and find a personal injury lawyer for legal advice.
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.
