At approximately 6:05 p.m., a white Ford pickup rolled 200′ down an embankment off the rural Elk Mountain Road, one of the thoroughfares used to navigate the Mendocino National Forest.

Reports from the scene indicate a male driver was able to get himself out of the vehicle and seemed to be injured, but as of 6:54 p.m., the nature of those injuries is unknown.

Multiple parties met first responders at the nearby CC Campground to guide them into where the incident took place. A tow truck has been dispatched to retrieve the truck from where it came to rest.


UPDATE 10:42 p.m.: The California Highway Patrol Traffic Incident Information page indicates that this incident resulted in minory injuries and there was no indication the involved party was driving while intoxicated.

I like to think of myself as a reporter for the Average Joe. Journalism has become a craft defined largely by city dwellers on America's coasts. It’s time to take it back. I have been an Emerald Triangle resident since 2006 and this is year ten in Mendocino County. Please, email me at matthewplafever@gmail.com if you know a story that needs to be told.
