Two people were injured Friday afternoon in a multi-vehicle accident in Carpinteria.
The crash involving three vehicles occurred shortly after 3 p.m. on Via Real near Santa Claus Lane, according to the California Highway Patrol.
A man and a boy were taken to Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital with minor injuries, according to Battalion Chief Mike Gallagher of the Carpinteria-Summerland Fire Department.
A witness told Noozhawk that a westbound vehicle that was stopped for a construction delay attempted to make a U-turn across a double-yellow line, and was struck by an eastbound vehicle.
Those vehicles then collided with a third vehicle.
The accident was under investigation by the CHP.
