Yesterday morning, a van was reported to have crashed off highway 41 near Morro Bay, prompting CHP and emergency personnel to close lanes in both directions near Bear Ridge road to conduct a rescue operation.
CHP says they eventually rescued a 50-year-old woman from the wreckage, who was airlifted to a local hospital for treatment of moderate injuries. She was the sole occupant of the van that crashed.
Both lanes of traffic eventually opened as of 1 pm.
