A man drove into a closed portion of the 101 Freeway in Ventura County late Friday night, leaving himself and two construction workers with injuries.
The crash was reported at about 10:51 p.m. on the southbound lanes of the 101 just north of West Main Street in an unincorporated portion of Ventura County, according to the California Highway Patrol.
The CHP said there was an active closure in that area as CalTrans subcontractors performed maintenance work.
At that point, a man behind the wheel of a blue Toyota drove into the closed section and struck a construction vehicle. The construction vehicle was then pushed into two construction workers who were standing outside.
The driver, a 21-year-old Oxnard man, was transported to a local hospital with major injuries. As of Saturday morning, his condition was not clear.
Of the two construction workers, a 24-year-old Bell resident was transported to a local hospital for moderate injuries. A 54-year-old Artesia man was treated at the scene for minor injuries.
No additional details were immediately made available.
