Today, at approximately 5:04 a.m., the California Highway Patrol (CHP) Ventura Communications Center (VCC) began receiving calls reporting a vehicle that had traveled off the roadway on SR-1 (Pacific Coast Highway) S/B at Mugu Rock.

Emergency personnel responded to the area and located the vehicle seventy-five feet down a cliff and onto the rocks along the shoreline. The vehicle was determined to be a gray 2006 Honda Accord with a solo male occupant still seated in the driver’s seat. Upon contact, the driver was alert, conscious, and communicating with emergency personnel.

Preliminary information and witness statements obtained at the scene indicate a 37-year-old male from Oxnard was driving the Honda Accord south on SR-1 approaching Mugu Rock at a high rate of speed. For reasons that remin under investigation, the driver turned his vehicle to the right, traveled off the roadway, struck a rock before plummeting seventy-five feet off a cliff and onto the rocky shoreline.

Fire personnel were able to safely extricate the driver from the vehicle. The driver appeared to have sustained minor injuries as a result of the crash and was transported to a nearby hospital by ground ambulance.
The California Highway Patrol is investigating the circumstances surrounding this crash. At this time, it is unknown whether alcohol and/or drugs were a factor.

Anyone with information regarding this incident is urged to contact CHP Ventura Area.

CHP Ventura has been actively working in partnership with Caltrans to identify and clean up illegal encampments along our local freeways.

Keeping these areas clear is important for the safety and well-being of our communities. Encampments near the roadway can create hazards for both those living in the area and passing motorists, while also contributing to debris and other safety concerns.

Our officers will continue working alongside Caltrans and our community partners to address these areas, improve roadway safety, and keep our highways clean and accessible for everyone.

Stolen Vehicle Recovery

Today, a Ventura CHP officer was conducting a routine check on an abandoned vehicle in the area of Wood Road north of Etting Road in unincorporated Ventura County. During the preliminary inspection, the officer discovered the vehicle’s VIN had been removed and several components had been stripped, raising suspicion that the vehicle was stolen.

The vehicle was towed to the CHP Ventura Area office, where our VIN officers began a detailed inspection to determine the vehicle’s identity number and assist with the ongoing investigation.

Our Community Oriented Policing (COPs) team works proactively to identify and remove abandoned vehicles throughout Ventura County. In partnership with our VIN inspection team, these efforts not only help keep our roadways safe and communities clean, but also lead to the recovery of stolen vehicles and the identification of criminal activity that might otherwise go unnoticed.
