Amador County - A speeding pickup crashed into a tree in front of the Pioneer Post Office Monday afternoon, injuring three. The grey-blue Toyota Tacoma was carrying three young individuals – a male driver, his sister and a 12 year old boy. Based on California Highway Patrol radio reports, the pickup crashed around 3:30 in the afternoon after the driver apparently lost control. According to bystanders at the scene, the truck appeared to be going extremely fast and lost control, skidding off the right side of the road and head on into a tree. One witness who claimed to know the occupants said the driver had been turning to the left up the hill on Carson Drive. The 12-year-old boy and the male driver were airlifted to a nearby hospital. CHP Officers sectioned off part of the road and worked the scene for hours. Story by Alex Lane (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.).
