SANTA CRUZ, Calif. (KION-TV) -- Santa Cruz Police confirmed Tuesday afternoon that a single car vehicle crashed into a tree on Seabright Avenue, closing the road to drivers in the area.
A man was driving a truck with a female passenger in the car, and for reasons still under investigation, the car accelerated into a nearby tree, according to police.
Police say that both the driver and the passenger were left in critical condition and taken to the hospital, one was going to be airlifted weather permitting.
It is undetermined if drugs or alcohol were a factor in this crash, but Santa Cruz Police said that one of the victims may have been revived on scene. They say that both people are currently alive and still in critical condition.

Word is that the driver had a heart attack and the passenger wasn't wearing her seatbelt. They were taken over the hill to a critical care unit better than what we have here. This is according to an alleged neighbor on nextdoor.

I just got the proof of my KFM piece for tomorrow and realized that I sent the wrong draft. I had a minor crash last week and the final version (or close enough to it) was stored in a temp file. I just fixed what I could but Kevin (the lone surviving TC Media employee) will have to tweak a few things tomorrow. He emailed me while I was at the dog park and I totally forgot to check in on it until just now. 

And I totally forgot to get more mayo. 

Merc is kicking my ass.
