The California Highway
Patrol report an accident that occurred on Monday in Fiddletown has been
released. According to
investigating Officer Steve Ladd’s report, 49 year old Jan Thomas of Fiddletown
was traveling west bound on Fiddletown Road just west of Quart Mountain Road
when for an unknown she allowed her 1999 Ford F-150 to leave the west bound
roadway edge. In efforts to correct the situation, Thomas over corrected back
to the left and lost control of her vehicle. The pickup truck continued across
both the west bound and east bound lanes and struck a dirt embankment causing
the truck to roll over and come to rest on its top, leaving Thomas trapped
within. Thomas was extricated from the vehicle and subsequently transported to
Sutter Amador Hospital for treatment for cuts and abrasions sustained from the
accident as well as pain to her neck.
