———————–

Hwy 101’s southbound lane is closed around 3 miles north of the small town of Leggett in order to allow a tow truck to pull a small KIA sedan up from an accident scene.  According to CHP dispatch, an occupant of the car “crawled up into roadway” and suffered minor injuries.  The car itself was 300-400 feet over a cliff.  A tow truck will be attempting to pull it back onto the roadway.

At this time, it is unknown how long the lane will be closed.  Expect delays. Follow updates here.
