On Thursday, October 16th, at 9:26 a.m., a Ventura County Sheriff’s Department unit radioed dispatch that he had been involved in an injury traffic collision on westbound SR126 at Briggs Road in Santa Paula. The deputy’s call sign was from a unit assigned to the Fillmore Station; he was transporting an arrestee at the time of the crash. Additional unknown vehicles were also involved, per CHP website. Both the deputy and the arrestee were transported to a local hospital with what fire personnel at the scene described as complaints of pain. Condition of the occupants of the additional vehicles was not available. CHP closed the number one lane of westbound SR126 for approximately two hours until vehicles were removed from the roadway.
