Sure do hope this wasn’t another DUI gone wrong on 36…. if not get well soon, if so get well soon and hopefully learn a valuable lesson…. this highway eats cars and especially drunk drivers.

Nobody ever remembers to watch out for the Jumping Redwoods out here on Hwy 36, they jump in front of your car while you’re otherwise occupied & not paying attention for whatever reason!!!

Very true with the wild animals. We hit a deer on hwy 36/before hydesville that had jumped down from a steep bank above the car so we didn’t see it until it was too late. Luckily, we were not driving that fast.
Hope all turns out well in this accident.
