On July 3, 2026, at approximately 1:10 AM, a solo vehicle collision occurred on Southbound US-101 just north of Benton Way. A vehicle, possibly a Nissan, struck the center divider, spun out, and came to a stop facing the wrong way in the fast lane, blocking the number three lane and the slow lane. An ambulance was dispatched to the scene, and officers from Santa Monica led a traffic break to manage the flow of traffic.
