The California Highway Patrol issued a traffic alert following a solo-car crash on U.S. Highway 101 in Mountain View on Monday morning, Nov. 15.
The wreck, reported shortly after 8 a.m. on southbound 101 near Rengstorff Avenue, was blocking the two right lanes of the freeway.
A sedan ended up on its roof on the shoulder of the roadway, according to the CHP. The driver needed to be extricated, and was taken to a local trauma center in stable condition, according to a post on the Palo Alto Fire Department’s Instagram page.
Thanks to mandatory (goverment imposed) seatbelts and mandatory (US DOT imposed) car crash minimum safety engineering specifications (with testing)
– that Really Mangled car was survivable. Good structural engineers on the car’s design team! (hooray for them)
Now – (goverment imposed) safety on US 101 (a federal highway). In a back Texas hill country highway – does the Gov. there prevent seatbelt checks as an infringement of freedom? But on Texas US Highways it is enforced? (just wondering)
