APTOS — Emergency officials responded to a solo-vehicle crash on Highway 1 at Freedom Boulevard Saturday afternoon.

The California Highway Patrol said three adults and one child were aboard a newer model Toyota Corolla traveling northbound on Highway 1 at 3:30 p.m. The Corolla driver lost control and the car then rolled upside-down beneath the Freedom Boulevard overcrossing.

At least two people were seriously hurt. Paramedics called for two air ambulances to carry the seriously injured victims to trauma centers out of county.

Northbound traffic was narrowed to one lane for about an hour, causing a significant backup.

The incident is still under investigation by the CHP.
