Why don`t I ever get to see this kind of thing? I`d love to see a good crash and burn happen. From a safe distance, of course — not as an active participant.

Your a super sick person, the universe tends to answer those request in some ways you would not imagine and would not enjoy. That person is super injured and your super sick.

Bad alignment too judging by that front right tire. Probably broke a tie rod.

Bald tires, yes. Bad alignment? Based on the photo? C’mon. That probably happened in the crash. (Although, if you let the tires go that long, you might let the alignment go also.) I think it had something to do with the left wheel not being mounted to the car.

And while I’m here… where’s the motorcycle the caused the crash? Cagers aren’t that irresponsible.

I got a Camaro but I cannot afford tires! But I got a Camaro! Crash your 20 thousand dollar car over 500 dollar tires? People! Bad form.

This vehicle passed through Myers Flat about 10 minutes prior to the accident. There are a LOT of crazy and immature speedsters in this area that regularly go way beyond what is prudent OR legal in terms of the speed limit, but this guy coming from the direction of Weott, was ACCELERATING through town, and he was going NO less than 60mph, in my estimation (in a 30 mph zone). He narrowly missed traffic which was turning left from the freeway exit stop sign. I hope that he has the book thrown at him and I really hope that since he was breaking at least one law and endangering the public that he does not get compensated by his insurance broker. What fookin’ idiot.

I saw this horrific scene right after it happened. I was driving northbound to the Miranda store, when a dark blue newer model Chevy Camero was headed south bound at a high rate of speed. Once I arrived at the store, I saw two Humboldt County Sherrif vehicles, a cruiser and an SUV, hit their lights and start to chase after the Camero. I headed back south on the Avenue after the store, only to see a major accident scene and the totaled vehicle. There was no van and the driver of the Camero as far as I could see, should of had plenty of a head start to lose law enforcement. Just another case of too much power in the wrong hands!!

Haven’t heard anything yet. 4 cop cars came tearing down into AP at 3:00am with lights and sirens screaming. They went to River Road about a mile from the bridge

Wow, you’d think there was a mass murder going on the way the cops passed my house.

Everyone OK? I doubt it. Did you see the photo? Does not look like a van, but it is badly mangled.
