Was this vehicle also “avoiding” an animal in the road?
Was it high speeds…impaired driving or Weather that caused another innocent power poles death?
there were two vehicles involved. one was pretty messed up, broken windshield and airbag deployed etc. i had to turn around at 1:40 and head back toward eureka and hit 101. i hope everyone was ok.
