Truck, looks like a bucket truck, in the bushes on the side of the SB 101 just passed Padero exit. Other cars involved as well. Possible secondary fender benders. Debris in all lanes and some small pieces made it onto the NB lanes. Traffic stopped SB and slowing NB due to people looking.

Rollover traffic accident on Highway 101 southbound at Santa Claus Lane.
LUVADUCK—It wasn’t a Jeep, it was a Honda Element. It would seem that any vehicle with a high center of gravity (talkin’ about you, SUVs), would be more prone to a rollover accident. I once came upon the scene in Minden, Nevada, of a low-speed accident involving a Ford Explorer that jumped a traffic light and was clipped by a late-model VW Beetle. The Explorer flipped onto it’s side and the VW had probably less than $100 worth of damage. The problem is compounded because so many SUV owners think they’re invincible because they’re in a heavy, tank-like vehicle, so they drive accordingly. Very bad mistake, as they seemingly flip over if you even look at them sideways.
