[UPDATE 9:50 a.m.] Vehicle Overturned on Hwy 101 by Miranda; Traffic Diverted
Traffic is temporarily being diverted off Hwy 101 and across the Salmon Creek exit and onramp near Miranda after a black Nissan Rouge hit the guardrail and overturned about 8 a.m., according to the CHP Traffic Incident Information Page.
An ambulance was called to the scene as an occupant had a head injury.
There is quite a bit of debris in the roadway and Caltrans was dispatched over the scanner to deal with a large area of torn up guardrail.
UPDATE 9:50 a.m.: The CHP page is reporting that the patient received minor injuries. It also reports that both northbound and southbound lanes are open.

🕯🌳At least it wasn’t a semi. 🖖🐸🌍
Right
Nope, it was apparently a Nissan that went Rogue.
I thought it was a Chevy driver who was too cavalier.
Water pools on the roadway on that stretch, hydroplaning is common
So is speeding. Every time I travel through I set the cruise on 55 or 65 depending on the current speed limit. I get passed like I’m standing still regularly. People drive fast and stupid. Even worse in bad weather.
There is a scientific formula for hydroplaning. It is based on tire pressure, weight of vehicle and speed if I remember correctly.
My comment originally included the sentence, “slow the f%#k down” but was apparently edited. Perhaps my changing it a bit will make it past Kym☺
No offense intended! Just adding to what you said!
I believe cruise control can also be a factor to hydroplaning. Should not do it in rain
Who is this Miranda that is turning over vehicles?
Is it a local ? If so are they ok?
