I’m confused at the car fall off the cliff? Because it says hanging by a tree Road and the next thing you know CPR was performed and then the poor person was deceased

What’s a tree road? Is that like a wooden bridge or something?

Actually a tree road was the original invention of how to move newly built boats into larger bodies of water… Its almost like a wooden bridge but without girders and a supporting structure for reinforcement and integrity….

Auto correct often puts in the wrong word…changing the entire meaning of the sentence.

That reads much better. Maybe you should just do that instead from the get-go.

Don’t burn out Kym, you do a wonderful job. I hope you are financially rewarded for the service you perform. You are obviously dedicated to doing good things for your community, but that can take its toll on your well being. Don’t let the ungrateful break your spirit! Thank you for you!

Kym, please keep bringing us the news. Nobody is perfect. These losers that call you out have nothing better to do in life but try to make themselves feel better by putting others down. It’s not like you are writing 3 drafts and turning a final draft. You writing as it happens, attempting to bring us the news as it happens, not days later. Keep up the awesome job.😎😎😎😎😎😎

We still don’t know if there was a medical issue or he simply fell asleep, but it doesn’t matter. Bill Dickson ran off the road on Aug 2, and died on scene. Bill’s grandfather was a founder of Bank of Loleta. Bill spent much of his life in ministry in the role of tech support of world-wide mission work. Bill is on the top left of the picture taken on his last night at our family camp near Phillipsville, CA.

So sad. We’ve had way too many fatal accidents on our roads. And yes the 1144 is an awful time for a call like this to have tagged to it.

Maybe this driver had a ‘medical condition’ before crashing… dunno.
Seems like Hwy 101 is turning into a ‘death zone’.

Most likely not even the drivers fault, Everybody drives like asses these days, No consideration. Think I will make a larger effort to drive like a saint. Sorry to hear your loss.

Every driver up here should follow Shawn the fisherman’s words to drive with higher awareness of every element around you. And for those who are not comfortable behind the wheel, don’t drive !!! Period !!! Nervous drivers cause fatal accidents!!! You don’t belong behind the wheel on public roads.

You know. It’s probably not their fault. Because I drive truck, and people are always in a frickin hurry, they have NO regard for anyone else. I can’t tell you how many times a car has passed me ON A DOUBLE YELLOW LINE!!! They pass me on the right, hang in my blind spots and get in front of me and slam the brakes!!! I’m 80,000 pounds knock it the hell off!!!!

I knew what you meant Kym. My condolences to the family. So sad all these fatalities lately. Maybe we should lower the speed limit.idk

Lowering the speed limit won’t be with distracted driving and carelessness. It’s a proven fact that if you alter the speed limit of vehicles whether it’s a 19 wheeler or a car, it makes things more dangerous. It’ll just make matters worse

It’s hard to stay on the road if you are having a “medical condition”.
Unfortunately too many people are dying in these horrible accidents
involving “medical episodes” .
These days I stay off the roads if possible.

CHP Firedepartment responders EMTs all of these must be commended for what they do.
