Ventura County, CA (April 26, 2026) – A deadly collision caused major traffic delays on southbound Highway 101 near the Seacliff exit Sunday morning. The California Highway Patrol reported that emergency responders arrived at the scene around 9:45 a.m. Early reports described a major crash, with officials later verifying it involved a gray Tesla and caused at least one death. By around 10:30 a.m. The right lane was closed so investigators and recovery crews could work safely at the scene. Traffic in the vicinity rapidly congested, reaching moderate to heavy levels as the response efforts persisted. Officials urged motorists to slow down and drive carefully when navigating the area. Rescue efforts persisted until early afternoon, reaching 12:30 p.m. , the lane stayed closed while crews worked to remove the involved vehicle. All lanes were eventually reopened by around 3:00 p.m. , restoring normal traffic flow on the highway. The cause of the crash is still under investigation. We offer our deepest condolences to the victim’s family and loved ones during this challenging time. How Highway Crashes Can Lead to Extended Delays and Serious Outcomes.
