Honestly, I’m surprised we don’t have more of these kinds of incidents with Uhaul’s. Having to drive in traffic with people trying to drive these things is scary…… Stick with your compact car people……

Uhauls are almost as bad as those rent a RV’S. Hope everyone’s OK

Was the motorcycle accident up closer to Orick the same one tied in with this
article? Or was there two separate motorcycle accidents today?

We got stuck in the SoHum accident for about 45 minutes about 4 PM today. Just a little south of Confusion Hill. The U-Haul van looked much worse than the photos indicate. Engine compartment crushed in pretty far. Amazing that the driver was reported uninjured. The bike looked like a medium Harley, Sportster or something. Appeared undamaged, but we drove by quickly. Looked light purple to me. The newly de-barked, roadside redwood attraction can be easily seen traveling south on 101 a little south of Confusion Hill. Look for little bits of glass and junk.
