I’m confused at the car fall off the cliff? Because it says hanging by a tree Road and the next thing you know CPR was performed and then the poor person was deceased
What’s a tree road? Is that like a wooden bridge or something?
Tree ROOT not road
Actually a tree road was the original invention of how to move newly built boats into larger bodies of water… Its almost like a wooden bridge but without girders and a supporting structure for reinforcement and integrity….
Auto correct often puts in the wrong word…changing the entire meaning of the sentence.
Dantae, I don’t have much information. But a vehicle went off the road and landed precariously in a tree root, according to the scanner. About 25 minutes later, the scanner says that CPR is being performed on an occupant of the vehicle. Then five minutes later, the person is pronounced dead.
thanks for reporting
That reads much better. Maybe you should just do that instead from the get-go.
[edit] Kym is reporting news as it happens almost every day of the week.. and you try to shame her about a spelling error.. get a life
Probably an English teacher. Cut them some slack.
I’m one person. I had a Fire on 299, a fire north of Rio Dell, a fatal accident with information coming in as I’m writing other stories, an interview for a story that isn’t yet published, and rude people in the comment section to deal with at the same time. I’m only capable of so much. Sometimes I’m not able to balance all the balls perfectly. Send me money and I’ll hire someone to help. Or, since you are reading for free a large amount of content daily, accept that on extremely busy days I might be less than perfect.

You are doing great Kym! Please keep up the good work. There are so many of us who appreciate all that you do. 🙂
I think you are THE BEST!
Aw, thanks. Sorry for being so cranky. It’s hot.
Your the best!!!!
Perfect Kym!
You are one amazing person, writer, woman, mom, …..
Don’t burn out Kym, you do a wonderful job. I hope you are financially rewarded for the service you perform. You are obviously dedicated to doing good things for your community, but that can take its toll on your well being. Don’t let the ungrateful break your spirit! Thank you for you!
Sid, I do get money from advertising. It works out to about $10 per hour which I’m pretty happy with (a big step up from $0 for the first 4 years!)
I shouldn’t have lost my temper yesterday. I was hot, tired, and busy. Hopefully, I remember to take breaks to cool down no matter how busy it gets today.
kim you do a great job. your the first paper i read in the morning. and for thre grammerploice stop beeeing rudeed. 🙂
You go girl
Keep on keepin’ on!
Kym, please keep bringing us the news. Nobody is perfect. These losers that call you out have nothing better to do in life but try to make themselves feel better by putting others down. It’s not like you are writing 3 drafts and turning a final draft. You writing as it happens, attempting to bring us the news as it happens, not days later. Keep up the awesome job.😎😎😎😎😎😎
We still don’t know if there was a medical issue or he simply fell asleep, but it doesn’t matter. Bill Dickson ran off the road on Aug 2, and died on scene. Bill’s grandfather was a founder of Bank of Loleta. Bill spent much of his life in ministry in the role of tech support of world-wide mission work. Bill is on the top left of the picture taken on his last night at our family camp near Phillipsville, CA.

1144 is never a good time to be involved in an accident😢
Prayers to all involved 🙏🏻
What a terrible omen.
between spy rock and area 101 drove off road looks like they missed the turn traffic moving please be careful mile marker 78.14
What’s 1144, Kym?
a dead person. i believe 1016 is the 10 code for that but not sure
Technically a “Possible fatality” but it can be used to mean an actual fatality. In this case, the scanner said something like, “Confirmed 1144”
So sad. We’ve had way too many fatal accidents on our roads. And yes the 1144 is an awful time for a call like this to have tagged to it.
(I know as a Retired RN)
Fitting time but still horrible, in general!!!
Maybe this driver had a ‘medical condition’ before crashing… dunno.
Seems like Hwy 101 is turning into a ‘death zone’.
Right next to the 36
It’s getting to be kind of a Tossup as to which one has claimed the most lives lately which is a terrible comparison to make!!!
Most likely not even the drivers fault, Everybody drives like asses these days, No consideration. Think I will make a larger effort to drive like a saint. Sorry to hear your loss.
Every driver up here should follow Shawn the fisherman’s words to drive with higher awareness of every element around you. And for those who are not comfortable behind the wheel, don’t drive !!! Period !!! Nervous drivers cause fatal accidents!!! You don’t belong behind the wheel on public roads.
You know. It’s probably not their fault. Because I drive truck, and people are always in a frickin hurry, they have NO regard for anyone else. I can’t tell you how many times a car has passed me ON A DOUBLE YELLOW LINE!!! They pass me on the right, hang in my blind spots and get in front of me and slam the brakes!!! I’m 80,000 pounds knock it the hell off!!!!
Drive safe, drive polite, drive sober. Slow down, live long!
I knew what you meant Kym. My condolences to the family. So sad all these fatalities lately. Maybe we should lower the speed limit.idk
Lowering the speed limit won’t be with distracted driving and carelessness. It’s a proven fact that if you alter the speed limit of vehicles whether it’s a 19 wheeler or a car, it makes things more dangerous. It’ll just make matters worse
It’s hard to stay on the road if you are having a “medical condition”.
Unfortunately too many people are dying in these horrible accidents
involving “medical episodes” .
These days I stay off the roads if possible.
CHP Firedepartment responders EMTs all of these must be commended for what they do.
This is my uncle…
God bless you & your family. May your loved one rest in peace and may you all carry on with life, Trying to find peace as well.
So sorry for your loss.God Bless.you and your Family
About noon the scanner was squawking abt a tan ford and then I saw that CHP had a tan F-250 stopped on the SB-101 Scandia off ramp. There was damage to the rt front.
Any info?
Any updates on This? Thanks Kim for all the information you give! I am thankful!
Rest in peace.
