[UPDATE 1:57 p.m] Blood, Major Damage to Vehicle, But No Driver Found at Crash Scene Near Honeydew Exit Last Night
According to report from the Chief of Redcrest Fire, Justin Olander, there was lots of blood and major vehicle damage. He said that members of Redcrest Volunteer Fire, the California Highway Patrol, and Cal Fire were unable to locate anyone on scene.
“When we got there, there was still oil dripping out the front of the truck,” Olander said. “It was an end over end rollover…This thing was completely smashed. Seatbelt was worn and airbag was deployed. …We checked both sides of the highway but didn’t find anything.”
Olander said that the person in the vehicle bled a lot. “It was pooled up pretty good in a couple of spots,” he told us. “Whoever it was was bleeding pretty good.”
And he’s worried. “I couldn’t hardly sleep last night,” he said. But, he explained, “We didn’t see any signs of anyone leaving [on foot]. I’m thinking someone picked ‘em up.”
He paused and then said, “I’m just hoping the person got picked up.”
If you have any information, please contact the California Highway Patrol at (707) 268-2000.
UPDATE 1:57 p.m.: According to a reader,
I know the person who picked up the man in that roll over accident. Idk if they don’t want to come forward or what? But they picked him up walking on side of road by the crash. He had a pretty good gash on his head but insisted he was fine and asked them to take him to his gf house… When they dropped him off she said she was taking him to the er to get stitches . Just didn’t want people to think there was someone lost and injured out there.

Man that is a nasty crash. Glad the person was wearing a seatbelt and the airbag deployed. I would think that the use of the safety equipment probably saved his life. I hope he was picked up by someone, and taken to a hospital, and did not wander off into the brush, fall over and bleed to dead. Maybe a stolen truck and he left at high speed.
Probably trying to avoid that DUI charge
100% he was drunk and trying not to get in trouble
🕯🌳Hmmmmmm. ⚖🛸
Justin, I couldn’t begin to imagine what you and every first responder must feel when coming upon a scene like this. Thank you for your vigilance and caring in our communities.
AMEN!
I will 2nd that Diana. It is one tough job.
And 9 times out of 10 it is for some selfish drunk looking to ruin lives, or at least distract from worthy causes….
O what a feeling to drive….. Toyota! The humboldt staple of transportation. I’ve totaled a handful myself back in my drinking daze.
So, why did Prius driver use the left lane? Because the right lane was too trumpy!
Holy shit, that wreck was bad… hope this dude’s ‘gf’ got him to see a doctor…
I wonder if he wants to sell that Toyota cheap for parts I will by it if he wants to sell it
I have a toyota ’83 that I was forced to drive off a cliff on my property. It looks a lot like this vehicle. It is now a parts truck, Call my office in Gville if interested.
I walked away from a bad accident once. I thought I was fine until a few hours later I went into shock. Blessings to the injured. Please take care of each other 💕
I bet one light cover is still good. hope he or she is alive and clotted up.
And then this happened:
Why did you post this?
Is it related or just another picture of a crashed truck?
This truck crashed close to midnight just south of the hwy 36b exit at the van duzen bridge the same night.
🕯🌳Alot of these commentators should apply for the Sheriff’s department job,they already send him code.👁
🕯🌳If the girlfriend drove him to the hospital then the police should still be trying to contact A. The person that updated the story for the information, or B the the driver/girlfriend if they have not reported it yet?⚖👁 And even the hospital’s to find out more information. 🖖🇺🇸
Would the update be a.m.?
🕯🌳Have the police been informed who he is?Or is that against the code.👁🇺🇸 Now who’s to say he was alone?📡⚖
Truly, this driver could’ve killed himself and/or others in a crash like this. Glad he walked away, but he will likely not change his ways.
All drivers need to pay attention to how other drivers are navigating our roadways, full time.
why think it’s alcohol he could have fallen asleep. Seems like everybody likes to think the worst
