The crash was reported at approximately 8:17 a.m. about two miles west of the Berry Summit Vista Point near mile marker 28.40. Initial reports indicated a white Honda SUV had been involved in a collision, with both lanes of the highway blocked.

Photos from the scene show the SUV resting upside down near the center of the highway on a foggy stretch of roadway. Traffic cones were placed around the vehicle while motorists were directed through the area.

A tow truck was requested, and officers sought an expedited response due to traffic impacts along the busy mountain highway corridor.

Although early reports raised concerns about possible injuries, CHP ultimately classified the incident as a traffic collision with no injuries.

By 9:20 a.m., CHP reported that traffic control measures were in place and that the roadway remained open under controlled traffic conditions while crews worked to clear the scene.

No additional details about the cause of the crash or how many people were in the vehicle were immediately available.

This information is based on CHP dispatch records and conditions observed at the scene. Additional details may be released as the investigation continues.
