CBS affiliate KION-46, Central Coast News, recently reported that an accident took place on Highway 1 going northbound.

The 25-year-old man was taken to Watsonville Community Hospital and then transported to San Jose Regional with major injuries, including two broken legs. The 42-year-old woman was taken to Watsonville Community Hospital with complaints of pain, but no other details about her condition were made available.

Reportedly, the male motorist crossed the double yellow line while traveling at an unknown rate of speed in an attempt to pass the female motorist. As another motorist headed towards the 42-year-old driver, the driver hit the female motorist’s vehicle, causing a chain reaction that affected two more vehicles. According to the report, a Dodge Ram truck struck the male motorist’s vehicle, and an Acura driven by the fourth involved motorist struck the 42-year-old woman.
