First responders have amassed on the side of State Route 20 near Marina Drive after a traffic collision resulted in a black vehicle landing 100′ off the roadway and upturned on its roof.

The California Highway Patrol Traffic Incident Information page indicates that a truck and black car collided around 12:28 p.m. which sent the black car down an embankment. First responders found a party trapped in the vehicle and successfully extricated them.

Medics packaged the patient who is now being transported to Ukiah Valley Medical Center to be airlifted for treatment.

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.
