On February 24, 2023, at approximately 5:59 A.M., a solo vehicle fatal traffic crash occurred on US-101 southbound, south of the West End Road under-crossing in Arcata.
A 2001 Toyota Sequoia was traveling southbound on US-101 when it suddenly traveled off the west edge of the road, overturned and came to rest down the embankment. The driver, 21 year old Makayla Bernald of Blue Lake, sustained fatal injuries as a result of the crash.
Alcohol and/or drug impairment are not considered to be a factor in this crash. The #2 southbound lane of US-101 at the scene was closed for several hours as this crash was investigated.
