UPDATE 8:20 a.m.: A reader tells us, “Large equipment is removing the cargo of what looks like roof units, grey steel square pieces larger than several refrigerators combined. Both directions are down to one lane as crews are on the scene.”

This collision remains under investigation by the California Highway Patrol Garberville Office.

Between the two early morning accidents in the northbound lane of 101 does this mean hwy 101 is closed for northbound traffic?

I read it the road is wet or icy. So slow going, don’t head the way until further notice.
