Just before 5:30 p.m., a Toyota Tundra struck a tree west of Grizzly Creek Redwoods State Park on Hwy 36.

The California Highway Patrol posted on their information page that they didn’t know how badly if at all the occupant was injured.

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

Just hope the driver is okay. Don’t know why they hit the tree. Looks like the Tundra sucked up the damage pretty well. Trees that close to the road on 36 should have been cut back many years ago. Lot of nasty comments. May the next tree be yours! You call them nasty names, yet you don’t know why or how it happened.

Heh, if that’s the tree I think it is, I had to avoid it once… because I was also avoiding some asshole in a yellow coupe passing someone around that corner, over the double yellow, into oncoming traffic (i.e. my truck).

Bushytails, sure glad you did not hit that damn tree. Your near miss is another very good reason to cut these trees back from the road. If they ever do, I sure hope they don’t leave stumps. There are enough stumps now!

Cut trees are OK but stumps are a no no? You must be running for a political position.

That grower’s Toyota is now a Kirin can. The big trees were there before the east coast Masshole Grower. Go home to east coast trust fund beneficiaries!

Sparklemahn, I looked closely at the tree and did not see a badge. I guess it is Officer Redwood.

The trees have patience. They wait for fools to drive like the GrandPrix. Highway 36 is waiting for more idiots-bring it on!!
