Way to go, passerby!!!
A huge THANK YOU to the passerby for pulling the driver from the vehicle. It is folks like you that makes this a much better place to live. God Bless.
I fully agree with the last comment there are some really good people in this County and they save that person’s life today I don’t know why there’s so many accidents lately the only thing I can think of her people are driving too fast and not paying attention
I have to add one comment about seven or eight years ago we were on 299 headed back to the coast and our car transmission just went out in the middle of the road it was a blind turn basically we’re dead meat a wonderful gentleman that was a firefighter in Willow Creek stop to assist us he pulled this off the road to wait for a tow truck he risked his life for us that day
Just drove by minutes ago. Fire is out. Car is up in a turnout ready to be dragged up on a tow truck. One way controlled traffic.
It was just upstream from the Cedar Flat picnic/rest area, opposite the large turnout.
