SANTA BARBARA COUNTY, Calif. – Northbound Highway 101 was limited to one lane after a garbage truck crashed into the concrete barriers just north of the Sheffield Drive exit.

According to the Montecito Fire Department, the crash did not result in injuries to the driver, but the closure was expected to last longer than normal due to the size of the involved vehicle.

All lanes were officially reopened around 6:09 p.m. Tuesday shared the California Department of Transportation District 5 via tweet.

The California Department of Transportation asked drivers to avoid the area and check the latest on traffic conditions here.
