CHP and Santa Barbara City Fire is on scene of an incident that is being currently investigated by police at Hwy 101 at La Cumbre. Expect delays.
When I first read this I thought it was from the State Street bridge, because that has like NO guardrail and it is sketchy just to walk across it and would be way too easy to jump from. In fact, I think it is the only bridge over the freeway that doesn’t have a HIGH and supposedly non-scalable fence. The La Cumbre fence looks hard to climb!
Are we allowed to talk about this one?
