–A driver in a white sedan traveled through a fence on the northbound Highway 101, just north of the exit for Highway 46 West this morning, according to eye witness reports.

Good shot of the scene.
From what I can see in the picture, it looks like they were VERY LUCKY that they did not hit the tree, rocks or drainage culvert. That could have resulted in a verty different ending.
