It’s
once again fog and rain season, and with that comes the need to drive
cautiously, says the CHP. Two local motorists would probably agree. According
to a CHP report, a Citrus Heights man collided
with a wire fence post on Latrobe
Road this past Tuesday after losing control due to
a wet road conditions. And a Pioneer man rear-ended the truck of an Elk Grove
driver on Ridge Road
at the Old Ridge Road
intersection when thick fog didn’t allow visibility of the stopped vehicle. Be
careful with the change in weather and don’t become an accident statistic.
This
time of year, we’re seeing lots of deer close to county roads, probably looking for food. This
means extra caution needs to be exhibited driving. According to the California
Highway Patrol, two deer-related accidents occurred this past Tuesday -- One on
Ridge Road east of Surrey Junction Lane, and another on Highway 88 west of
Alaire Lane. In both cases, the deer was struck. Minor bodily injury and
property damaged occurred. Drive cautiously, deer are quick and collisions with
them are potentially very dangerous.
