Last night around 6:45 pm Amador County Sheriff’s Deputies were called to the Hwy 88 and 104 intersection for what was reported to be a fight on the side of the road. With one deputy on scene- a second Sheriff’s department deputy arrived for back up and as he approached the scene the deputy, with his emergency vehicle lights activated, attempted to turn to the scene. As the deputy turned his patrol unit the car following him appears to have attempted to pass the deputy on the left colliding with the deputy. The vehicle that collided with the deputy was then rear-ended by yet another vehicle causing an accident scene that shut down Highway 88 for approximately one hour. The Amador County Sheriff’s Department Deputy was unhurt, however one passenger of the car that struck the sheriff’s department unit was transported by REACH air ambulance to UC Davis Medical Center. Three other passengers in that car were also transported to Sutter Amador Hospital by American Legion Ambulance. The California Highway Patrol is investigating this accident.
