The California Highway Patrol (CHP) called out a truck driver for failing to obey multiple signs before crashing into a ditch.
On November 5, 2025, troopers with CHP’s Hollister-Gilroy Division took to social media to detail how ignoring signs got a truck driver into trouble in the Gilroy, California, area.
CHP “After failing to obey three regulatory signs advising not to take this road, this commercial driver drove onto San Juan Highway towards San Juan Bautista anyway and realized that his vehicle was not going to be able to negotiate a tight roundabout ahead. He was left no choice but to back up his big-rig, and eventually traveling off the roadway and into a ditch,” CHP said.
“The CHP Hollister-Gilroy Area reminds all drivers to stay alert, drive safely, and obey all posted traffic signs. Speed limits, stop signs, and other road markers are there to keep everyone safe, ignoring them can lead to serious consequences. Let’s all do our part to make our roads safer for everyone. Drive safe. Arrive alive,” troopers advised.

Thanking you very kindly for not deporting me.
ICE should focus on truck drivers considering how potentially dangerous their jobs are. Kick them out and Americans can replace them even if it takes awhile to train new truck drivers
“The CHP Hollister-Gilroy Area reminds all drivers to LEARN ENGLISH!! ”
Given the poor handling I would have sworn it was an International.
Driver identified and named immediately.
White, US citizen.
Driver identified immediately, and prominently labeled many times in the report with First, Middle and Last Name.
White, male, US citizen, tagged as a red-neck Trump voter.
Driver not identified.
Minority, not US citizen.
“Teen” or “Youth”
BLM racist.
Those pictures say “strictly enforced” all right.
By natural law.
One Democrat staffer in Obama’s first administration said they would ‘repeal’ the Laws of Physics......He was serious............
We’ll probably find out his last name is “Singh.”
Patel or Singh?
It does explain their desire for big, all-powerful thug government. It’s the god that makes stuff up, decreeing anti-reality as truth.
Stamping out reality is a 24/7/365 make-work project!
Quite a few Kennedys have believed that, too, with fatal consequences.
Is that Chicken Vindaloo dripping out of the door?
It’s not a Swift (See What I F***edup Today, Sure Wish I Finished Training) truck, either. Looks like a no name driven by a poorly trained “one of them again”
