It was a close call for a Pioneer resident when
the rear wheel of someone’s vehicle came flying into his lane on Saturday. According to Officer Jeremy

the sweeping curve just west of Ridge

left rear wheel. The wheel flew into the westbound lane where it
collided with 67 year old Robert Chapman of Pioneer’s 2001 Dodge. According to
the report neither driver was injured.
It was an even closer call for a man involved
in an accident the very next day on Hwy. 88 and Pioneer Creek Road. Officer Drake Wilburn reports
that Joshua Cranwell of Pioneer was traveling eastbound on Hwy. 88 at 35 mph on
a 2007 Harley Davidson Motorcycle when Michelle Davis of Freedom pulled out Pioneer Creek Road directly
in front of him. The
front of motorcycle hit the rear of Davis’
