It’s a dangerous and slick road. Need to slow down when driving that road this time of year.
Hope the driver and passengers (if any) will be ok.
People need to slow down on that road every day. The worst driving I have ever witnessed ocurrs daily on that road. Neither Shelter Cove nor Redway will disappear if you take a few more minutes to get there. Slow down.
Shelter Cove and Redway disappear on a regular basis…..that could just be me….

Everyone is safe now. So…. Gotta say. That bottom pic reminds me of a cat laying on its back.
And yes. The rescuers are heroic in going out for things like this! Gonna be tricky to get that rig outta there.

No hurries No worries
The driver of that Dodge truck was one lucky guy. Glad he was able to climb up the bank to the ambulance. Hope he is fine. He better add a new truck to his Christmas wish list.
Front tires look worn.
