Yellow dog and Australian ShepherdAn accident occurred on the Bluffs near Evergreen Road between Garberville and Redway at approximately 11:56 p.m. A Chevy Silverado went off the road and landed on its roof. One person had to be extricated and received major injuries, according to the CHP Traffic Incident Information Page.

Two dogs went missing after the accident. Rochelle Agers reached out to us asking us to get the word out. She said, “[Three] dogs were in the truck of the …accident on the bluffs. 1 of them has been found and the 2 others are still missing.”

In another post on the Hey, Garberville page on Facebook, she said. The dogs answer to the French language. The black one’s “name is Weirikuta and other is Nippu.

She suggested messaging her on Facebook if you have information.

UPDATE 9:31 a.m.: The dogs have been located, according to one reader.

Kym, Do you mean the dogs owner is French and therefore the dogs primary human language is French. The way it’s written at first it looks like the dogs answer to [the name] French. In other words, one would say “Viens ici, chien” for come here dog.

There is probably nothing worse than being badly hurt and then losing your loved ones as well, human (of course) and animal. Glad for all. Now prayers for the injured soul.

And the poster’s misspelled name. Both are rude and crude.

Lived in Humboldt for over 30 years, moved to France three years ago. The rudeness is a myth; rudest people I’ve met in my life were from Humboldt.

Nothing against Rochelle Agers. We almost found out the hard way, years ago, that a harness and a medium/short sturdy leash attaching the dog to a strong part of the vehicle can prevent heart ache in an accident like this. We have setups in both our truck and our SUV, just for that. I came extremely close to being hit by another vehicle and had to slam on my brakes. My Labrador was in the very back of our VW bus, but ended up on the floor of the front. She was unhurt, but very shook up. That day, we rigged a “seat belt” for her. Every car and truck since has had full set-ups for all our dogs since. You can buy special ones or make a sturdy one. Just do not attach it to their collar or they could have their neck broken. Our dogs are like our kids. Lets treat them that way, too.

Seems to me if they ride in the bed & the truck rolls it’s a crap shoot whether they are safer restrained or loose. Best answer, don’t wreck your truck.

You have restrain a dog in the bed of a truck unless it’s a working dog that’s the law.

Not gonna say it!

Aw hell, slow down between Gooberville and Redway, it’s only about 6500 feet between the 55mph sign and the 35 mph sign, so you are not required to hit 95, and everywhere else out Briceland etc until you have to stop for the ocean. There is no reason to hurry…

French folks drive for shit even in France…

I’d like to see the speed limit there lowered to 45.

I find myself going 45 all the time. I thought I was getting old. Thanks for the confirmation that it’s safety.
