At around 1:15 AM this morning a Ford Explorer missed that tight left hander on the 78 to I-5 south onramp, plowed through the guard rail, and “splashed into the Buena Vista Lagoon.” You don’t know how many times we’ve seen that rail up a little too close for comfort.
A tow truck fished the SUV out of the water, and the Explorer’s driver was transported to a hospital for treatment of minor injuries, the CHP said. . . The cause of the crash was under investigation.
