Wet roads apparently contributed to two accidents Monday and kept CHP and medical first responders busy. At a little after 8 am, a 72-year old Paradise, CA man was northbound on Tiger Creek Road south of Black Prince Road. The CHP report says he allowed his car to drift onto the right shoulder where he lost control and struck a tree, blocking the roadway. According to a witness, the driver said he was forced off the road by another car. Either way, the driver was uninjured, most likely thanks to his seatbelt and airbag, and refused medical treatment at the scene. Later that morning, two teenage girls were driving on Camanche Road, at a high rate of speed for the wet roadway, according to the California Highway Patrol. The driver failed to negotiate a curve in the road, left the roadway and ran into a PG&E power pole, shearing the pole off at its base. Both the driver and her passenger had to be extracted from the car. They were both taken by helicopter to San Joaquin General Hospital with minor and moderate injuries.
