Amador County – A Pollock Pines man was injured after a vehicle crash Friday night in River Pines, when he reportedly fell and cut himself on a whiskey bottle he was carrying. The Amador County unit of the California Highway Patrol arrested Robert Hedrick, 54, of Pollock Pines after a 7:44 p.m. incident Thursday on Shenandoah Road at River Pines. CHP in a report Monday said Hedrick was under the influence of alcohol as he drove west-bound in a 1985 Mercury station wagon, and was crossing the bridge in River Pines at the El Dorado and Amador County line. CHP said: “He lost control at a right hand curve and struck a sign,” then his car went into a ditch. Hedrick “was seen stumbling while walking down Shenandoah Road with a whiskey bottle in hand.” The report said “as he was creating a scene, screaming and yelling at passing cars, he fell down, breaking his bottle and injuring himself on the broken glass.” He was arrested for a DUI at the scene and was release to medics and admitted to Sutter Amador Hospital due to his injuries.
