“Reader” put others in danger while taking a photo in the side view mirror while driving.
Looks to be the passenger side of a box truck. What leads you to believe the driver took the photo?
Yeah, what?
Praying that no one was injured badly or worse! Prayers to all parties involved?
Briceland Fire is at a crash in Klamath?
Yeah Briceland fire Southern Humboldt rescue commenting on a Klamath accident where a Crescent City police cruiser got smashed? Weird! Seems like there is zero reason for a Crescent City police cruiser to be in Klamath. Doesn’t make sense.
Expanded Homeland Security presence monitoring the protest would be my best guess. ? No other plausible reason.
Was there a protest in Klamath?
No, but why should reality get in the way of a good fear mongering?
Exactly…..
My error. I misunderstood the CHP spokesperson. She said a CHP officer from Crescent City.
Driving through the area on personal business.
I’m pretty sure it was a CHP cruiser.
You are right.
Prayers for the CHP officer.
A CHP flipped a u-turn on 101 in rush hour traffic almost hitting two cars to pull over my wife for “factory tinted windows” she asked him what was so important to almost cause two accidents? He said he was just inforcing the law… my wife handed him my Dr letter for my prescribed tinted Windows and shook her head… no ticket issued.
1 of many incidents that happen daily, CHP constantly put the public at risk driving well over the speed limit with no emergency lights on and flip sudden U turns, they are the tweekers of the highway,they should have a system that monitors their driving.If there’s no emergency there’s no call for illegal moves while driving
Me and 3 other drivers almost got in a wreck when a CHP flipped a bitch at the bottom of benbow Hill right in front of the off ramp last week, why he didn’t take the off ramp go under the overpass and merge back on the freeway is beyond me.
Whoa…that’s a new one. Dr prescribed tinted winows?
I have an eye problem, it’s pretty common actually
CHP out of crescent city patrol through Klamath daily
It’s amazing to me people argue about details that change nothing in the story. In the comment section of a very informative, reliable news source. Who cares how the information comes in. The content in most cases is the important part. Some of you constant commenters should go find a hobby.
Maybe develop a new flavor of tea, a nice blend of quality pekoe teas with a touch of bergamot and perhaps other herbs. Oh, hell, that’s taken.
Interesting that it when a CHP officer is involved they don’t State the cause of by far the accident
If the truck driver was at fault we know already
Jose Martinez is a good guy and has a wonderful family. God be with them in this time of need.
