Crash at Samoa and 4th

About 10:45 a.m., two vehicles, a Toyota Matrix and a Kia Amanti, collided at the intersection of 4th and R Streets in Eureka, according to a witness at the scene.

The Toyota was unable to move on its own and is still in the intersection as of 10:51 a.m. Traffic is backing up on 4th Street and also onto the Samoa Bridge.

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

UPDATE 11:14 p.m.: Traffic coming into Eureka is still backed up but the Samoa Bridge is fairly clear, according to Caltrans QuickMap.

Few cars are able to move on their own…yet. Most require a driver.

Hey, hey, hey now. How dare you not follow the local script of complicity:

Marijuana is by far the single best thing that has ever happened to Humboldt – economically, socially, and politically. Our friends, neighbors, and co-workers who grow, use, and/or distribute marijuana are deserving of our continued respect, admiration, support, and encouragement.

this probably had nothing to do with anything. I still don’t know how those rail cars carrying large logs were able to slow down after completing that grade.

Absolutely correct, and I apologize for my transgression. What’s not to love about following convoys of 20MPH soil trucks on 162 in the Spring and the fragrance of soiled skunk nuts in the fall. Who wouldn’t love the 2am symphony of AK fire and meth induced discourse bellowed at the volume of a Stratocaster hooked to a 10,000 watt amp. Ah, and the power stroke Fords with tailpipes that could house the Prussian Army. The bucolic wonder of plastic fences dotting the landscape, and the architectural genius of light-dep green houses saving us from the oppressive glare of the celestial sphere. Shame on me.

Don’t forget the okified brown and green sheets of material (fences) that growers use to try and hide their plants with.
