Narrative:
Southwest Airlines flight WN1817, a Boeing 737-7H4, was involved in a Cat. B runway incursion at SBA.

The controller did not provide runway separation between the Boeing 737 and a vehicle. The controller instructed a vehicle to enter runway 7 at taxiway C for a runway inspection and subsequently cleared the 737 to land on runway 7 on a 7-mile final.
The controller sent the aircraft around on approximately a .4 mile final. The 737 went around and overflew the vehicle by approximately 100-200 feet.
