A flatbed tow truck and a Scion collided at the intersection of G Street and Hodgson Street in Eureka about 3:15 p.m. Two adults in the Scion were injured and reportedly unconscious following the crash. Both patients regained consciousness on scene before being taken by ambulance to St. Joseph Hospital.

Eastbound Hodgson Street is blocked by the tow truck, but will be open soon.

According to Eureka Police Officer Tae Song, the car was heading south on G Street at around 40 miles per hour and failed to stop at the stop sign. The tow truck was traveling east on Hodgson and tried to brake but was unable to avoid the collision. A child in the tow truck was scared and was picked up by his mother.

Not only slow down, but focus on the road, I think people’s redundant text conversations can wait until they reach their destination! You would have to be drunk, or on your phone to miss a stop sign! Luckily for this lady she didn’t end up putting hers, or someone’s else’s loved one on a gurney!

Geeze G-Mas, please use capital letters when you start a sentence and please put a space in between your sentences. I for so long have hoped you would catch onto how everyone else is doing it.

I believe the speed limit in a residential area is 35 mph.

It’s 25 MPH in a residential area, unless otherwise posted.

Wow, no wonder drivers around here are so terrible! “Oh I’m around a bunch of houses, and children, time to haul ass.” You people need to get your heads out of you asses, or licenses withdrawn!

A little tiny car vs. a Flatbed truck. No contest. Thankfully the car occupants lived.

Almost had to also run the stops sign at Everding to get up to 40 mph at Hodgson, just one short block south.
