A vehicle crashed on southbound lane of Highway 101 between Myers Flat and Weott late this afternoon around 4:20 p.m., according to information from the California Highway Patrol Traffic Incident Information Page.
Early reports indicated a sports car type vehicle went off the roadway and came to rest against the guardrail. A man was seen walking around outside the vehicle shortly after the crash.
Initial dispatches suggested no obvious injuries, though CHP later reclassified the call as a traffic collision with unknown injuries. Reportedly, the #2 southbound lane is blocked.

UPDATE 5:02 p.m.: According to the California Highway Patrol Traffic Incident Information Page, the vehicle is a Porsche Macan with a blown out tire.

Went by this on my way home. Saw some flares first, then the car partially blocking the right SB lane. Any time you see flares in the road, slow way the heck down, because a fresh hazard has occurred and the needed traffic control probably hasn’t arrived yet.
Excellent comment wabbajack.
Gets a little wild in that stretch sometimes. Glad everybody’s okay.
That’s the Bermuda triangle of the 101 between Garberville and Eureka.
Bermuda Triangle . . . especially at 4:20 as this is reported 😉
Bummer
I love John’s image on this.
Ummm… I’m pretty sure Porsche doesn’t make anything called a “McCan”. Perhaps you meant ” Cayenne”?
Sorry. Fixed. Macan
Kym, Porsche makes a Cayenne and also a Macan which is a luxury crossover vehicle.
