On June 17, 2026, at approximately 6:47 AM, a red Nissan Versa collided with the center divider on State Route 51 North, just north of Fulton Avenue. The vehicle became undrivable and was initially positioned on a narrow right-hand shoulder, where the driver reported smoke coming from the engine and felt unsafe exiting the vehicle. The car was later moved to the gore point before being towed to Longview, just east of Watt Avenue. Caltrans was notified regarding a displaced K-rail on the right shoulder beneath Fulton Avenue.
