[07-09-2024] Ventura County, CA – Two Women Injured After Five-Vehicle Collision Near Lakeview Canyon Road

Two women were injured after a five-vehicle collision in Ventura County on Tuesday afternoon, July 9, 2024. 

According to the California Highway Patrol, the crash happened around 12:10 p.m. on southbound 101 near Lakeview Canyon Road. 

Authorities stated that five unspecified vehicles were involved in the collision. The incident began when one vehicle collided with another, and the other three ended up on sloped terrain off the side of the freeway. One vehicle ran off the road north of Lakeview, while two other vehicles did so in the opposite direction. The fourth vehicle struck a tree while the fifth overturned.

Two women with minor to moderate injuries were transported by ambulance to Los Robles Regional Medical Center. There is no word yet on their identities as well as on their current condition.
