According to law enforcement at the scene speaking to our photographer Mark McKenna, an elderly driver may have been involved in a collision with a mail truck. The woman continued on but stopped her vehicle to inspect it soon after. (Both tires were flat.) Then the truck rolled back on the woman pinning her.

The personnel at the scene believe there was no drugs or alcohol involved but possibly a medical issue. The woman has been taken to the hospital.

Campton Road is shut down in both directions as of 11 a.m.

Thanks to Eureka Police and Humboldt Bay Fire, as well as the ambulance for responding to the incident.

Hope everyone is ok.

The school cannot facilitate the incredible amount of traffic that is generated by parents dropping off and picking up their kids. The parents block driveways and alleys in the neighborhood and generally drive like savages.

Oak Street serving as a link between H and F makes it all the worse.

You are so right about that! I dread when schools are open because of the way the crazed parents drive!

Obviously should not be driving. Too many oldsters with conditions driving. I watched one blow through two stop signs and then park across two parking spaces at the Eureka library.

Too much laws of physics. Nobody would get pinned by vehicles if we had less gravity.

The elderly person WAS A PEDESTRIAN. Reading & comprehension are learnable.

she was not a pedestrian, she just so happened to step out of her car to check the damage after she crashed it into a US Mail truck. I hope the postal worker is okay.
