A 48-year-old Santa Cruz man escaped a rollover accident on Saturday morning with minor injuries. The wreck occurred on northbound Highway-1, north of Rio del Mar Boulevard, at 12:30 a.m. The driver of the S.U.V. swerved to avoid traffic that had slowed down, and hit the center divider. The impact caused the vehicle to flip onto its roof and slide into a nearby car. The driver was able to walk away from the overturned vehicle, after being helped by witnesses. The road was closed for about 5 hours while Cal-Trans crews cleaned leaked fluids from the highway.
