According to police, officers were called to the scene for reports of a collision involving two vehicles in the westbound lanes. “Preliminary investigation suggests that a grey Subaru collided with a grey Jeep Grand Cherokee while travelling on Highway 1, causing the Subaru to roll over and come to rest in a ditch alongside the highway,” the release reads.
