I saw this accident. Looked bad!
I hope they’re going to be ok.sending prayers🙏
There is something sinister about Laytonville. Many head on crashes. Maybe it’s that people speed there because the road is straighter and the highway has a lot of cross traffic.
Laytonville is a speed trap. Wise to slow down.
The truck was on it’s side and the escape was very smashed air bags had gone off
Would appreciate some survival tips since I drive down 101 often. Where should I be most careful?–what
times of day?–smart driving strategies.
Drive like your life depends on it. don’t tail gate. slow down.
Resorting to name calling? You must be a Snowflake.
Between Bell Springs and Spy Rock people zone out. Also, the wide turn by the elk at Shamrock ranch. Yes, people tune out after paying attention for too long. SMH
Don’t text, fight, or grab-ass while driving.

Guessing on the er… ‘screwed-up’ section of road coming down the hill from Spyrock ridge to the creek.
Last turn at the bottom sends people over the yellow line, with a ‘front wheel’ washout. (Understeer).
That section of road used to have a passing lane, CT painted it out due to the er… ‘problems’.
But, who knows. Maybe CalTrans will fix that corner… and finally take out the
‘upside-down-chip-truck-bridge’ corner to the north.
Probably save some lives.
There have always been accidents going up rattlesnake summit as well as going down it, passing SpyRock Rd. all the way to the old Mad Creek inn. (Sandhouse) or (hole in the wall, referring to the old swimming hole area….) area. It’s not strait road it’s got alit of uneven road as well as bad area for black ice. I lived up SpyRock rd. For 22 years I used to ride school bus every day to school when I was a kid it gets pretty crazy in winter sometimes.
Update?
None yet.
I hear the kid in the Toyota is ok. The driver was the more severely injured. Sounds like another local, repeat offender.
