At approximately 6:18 p.m., a vehicle went 40 feet over the side of the Bald Hills Road southeast of Orick near Williams Ridge Road, according to the CHP Traffic Incident Information Page. One person received major injuries, the California Highway Patrol reported on the page.

A helicopter responded to the scene, according to a witness who also said “there are fire trucks, park rangers, CHP (possibly sheriff with the same paint job), an ambulance I think, and the Cal Fire [helicopter]. Lots of flashing lights and some sirens.

Please remember that information gathered from initial reports is subject to revision as more facts become available.

Hard to say. Im pretty sure this is the first time ever that a crime of this type has ever been committed. I hope it wasnt a Tesla.

It is happening from one side to the other side of Humboldt County. It is getting to be an epidemic. People are losing their lives and being terrorized and the times are becoming much worse. Hopefully, there will not be victims of a mass shooting. Watch your children especially high school age kids. I saw two bad looking dudes with two high school age looking girls walking a trail behind the Mall trying to look cool while the two guys were smoking weed. Definitely not local guys. If there is a stereotypical predator they are here looking for targets. Don’t expect the police to protect your kids. Only you can do that. Remember the police usually show up AFTER the crimes have been committed.

Ban me if you must, but I have to disagree with you and say no you are not an idiot.
