Big rig, tractor collide on Riverside Drive

WATSONVILLE - Traffic was delayed on Riverside Drive near Vanoni Road Tuesday afternoon after a big rig collided with a tractor, the California Highway Patrol reported.

No one was seriously hurt in the 1:10 p.m. crash, but a plow became dislodged from the tractor and came to rest across the road, and a street sweeper was summoned because a large amount of debris was spread across the highway after the two vehicles collided, Officer Tracy Thompson said.

Officers used the highway shoulder to reroute traffic and all lanes were open by about 2:10 p.m., he said.
