MIDDLETOWN – A traffic collision Thursday afternoon left three people trapped in a vehicle.

The California Highway Patrol reported that a single vehicle collision was reported at 2:50 p.m. on Highway 29, one mile south of Twin Pine Casino in Middletown.

The vehicle was 15 feet over the roadside, with three people trapped inside, the CHP's incident logs reported.

Cal Fire and CHP responded, with “extensive extrication” needed to get the people out of the car. Highway 29 also was reportedly closed for a time – reopening shortly before 5 p.m. -- while the crash victims were removed.

CHP Officer Adam Garcia, spokesman for the Clear Lake CHP Office, said late Thursday afternoon that he had no information on the people who were involved.
