Soledad, CA (January 25, 2026) – A deadly single-vehicle crash occurred late Saturday night along State Route 146 near Stonewall Canyon Rd, just east of Soledad. The California Highway Patrol began receiving reports around 11:55 p.m. regarding a vehicle that had overturned near MPM 2.7 on SR-146.
Responding officers arrived to find a vehicle flipped over, with a male victim discovered pinned beneath it. Paramedics and fire personnel attempted to assist, but the victim was tragically pronounced dead at the scene. The crash prompted a full road closure in the area as emergency teams worked through the night to investigate and clear debris.
Details suggest the vehicle may have gone off the road and overturned, leaving debris scattered along the highway. Tow services and traffic control teams were dispatched, and crews coordinated with Monterey County communications and local fire authorities during the response.
Authorities have not yet released the identity of the deceased individual, and the investigation into the cause of the crash remains ongoing. No other vehicles appear to have been involved, and it is unclear what led the vehicle to lose control.
Our hearts go out to the family and loved ones of the person who lost their life in this tragic accident.
