A male driver fled on foot from his overturned vehicle tonight after it rolled over on the Avenue of the Giants about 7 p.m. A reader tells us that the pickup was left in the middle of the road south of the Market in the small town of Miranda.

Traffic is being directed around the scene and a tow truck is on the way.

UPDATE 8:24 p.m.: The pickup is being cleared with a flatbed truck. The road should be completely open soon.

A common Southern Humboldt tactic if one has been drinking…

The driver was in such a hurry to leave that he forgot to turn off the headlights.

Leaving the lights on may have helped save someone from hitting it.

I Thought the same thing. If he had a concussion it probably took all his train of thought just to remind his legs how to run.
On the other hand if he didn’t steal this truck it should be relatively easy to trace it back to him. Or someone locally may recognize it, that spray paint on the hood is one of a kind. Maybe it isn’t even spray paint? Regardless, the marks on the hood stick out like a sore thumb.

Another tactical retreat by a member of our active and dedicated DUI community. We, whom you threaten daily, salute you. Not.

Wonder if that was the idiot that had done all the doughnuts the other day in the big pull outs just outside of Miranda going south…

If he was on drugs or drinking that’s pretty f*cked up if it really was who I heard it was…. Kids have no appreciation
