GOLETA — A small pickup pulling a dune buggy overturned on Highway 101, bringing the southbound lanes to a standstill for at least an hour Tuesday afternoon.
Officials said nobody was injured in the accident, which occurred around 3:40 p.m. on southbound 101 near Dos Pueblos Canyon Road. But coincidentally, among the vehicles blocked by the debris were two ambulances with patients en route to Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital, said country fire Capt. Eli Iskow, the department spokesman.
Authorities shut down the northbound lanes for a time in order to funnel them through the accident scene, he said.
