Two people were injured on Saturday in a collision on Las Positas Road in Santa Barbara, according to the Santa Barbara City Fire Department. The accident occurred around 8:40 a.m. at the intersection of Las Positas Road and Las Positas Place, said Fire Captain Josh Brousseau.
A sedan exiting Las Positas Place collided with a car traveling south on Las Positas Road, causing one of the vehicles to end up overturned. The driver of the overturned vehicle sustained minor to moderate injuries and was transported by AMR ambulance to Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital. The other driver suffered minor injuries and was taken to the hospital by family members.
The names of the patients and details about their conditions were not available at the time of the report. According to Brousseau, both drivers were quickly attended to by emergency services that arrived at the scene shortly after the accident occurred.
