We are currently working a multi-vehicle collision on US-101 N/B @ San Ysidro. A big rig overturned and is blocking the San Ysidro off ramp and North Jameson. Another collision happened in center divider.
The

Please slow down!
Not only should you adhere to the posted speed limit when driving in wet weather conditions, you should drive considerably slower than you normally would. Wet roads are very dangerous. Your vehicle’s reaction time is much slower when it is raining.
There is lot's of traffic on US 101 and side streets around the Montecito area. People getting off the freeway to avoid US 101 traffic are not saving time. Please leave early giving yourself plenty time to get to your desired destination.
Multiple traffic collisions, US 101 NB north of Refugio State Beach. SR 154 from Santa Barbara to Santa Ynez is the alternate route. Please be careful if your driving through the area.
