Scanner traffic and the California Highway Patrol Traffic Incident Information page indicate a single vehicle went off Old River Road near the Hopland Cemetary around 7:20 this evening coming to rest after colliding with a tree in a ditch.

Initial information described the vehicle as not being visible from the roadway.

Upon arrival, the Incident Commander reported the vehicle was 15-20′ down a roadside ditch and both the patients had self-extricated.

One of the patients had what was described as ‘minor injuries and as of 7:47 p.m., they were still assessing the other patient. A ground ambulance is going to be transporting one of the parties to a local hospital.

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.
