Pick-Up Connected to Crime Found Engulfed in Flames Near Weitchpec
Flames escaped from a fully engulfed pickup in a photo taken this morning. [Photo from a passerby]
A picture provided by a passerby depicts an older model, two-tone pick-up truck on the roadside engulfed in flames and billowing black smoke.
The CHP Incident Information page indicates the vehicle is associated with an assault with a deadly weapon, which could indicate the vehicle was used to assault another party or the registered owner is suspected of being involved with an assault with a deadly weapon incident.
Fire personnel responded to the scene, extinguished the flames, and the vehicle was removed from the scene by Buddy’s towing. CHP impounded the vehicle and forwarded the information to Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office regarding the incident.

Ten years off the top for torching a perfectly good Chevy!
“registered owner” Haha! Good one.
Kym, there doesn’t seem to be any mention of this on the CHP information site. Will you post screenshots or links of where the information was pulled from?
