Deputy Patrol Vehicle Hit by Pioneer Woman Yesterday

slide4This week, two Amador County Sheriff’s Deputies were involved in a motor vehicle collision on Hwy 88 near Red Corral Road. According to the CHP report written by Officer Mike LeMasters, the two deputies were riding together in a marked Amador County Sheriff’s Patrol car heading west bound on Hwy 88. April Alexander, of Pioneer, was pulled to the side of the Highway. As the deputies’ vehicle approached Alexander’s location, Alexander failed to see the Amador County Sheriff’s vehicle and proceeded to make a U-Turn directly in front of the Deputies. The patrol vehicle then impacted Alexander’s 2001 Chevy Tahoe on the driver’s side door. Both Deputies were transported to Sutter Amador Hospital by American Legion Ambulance with moderate injuries.
