slide3Around 5 pm last evening what could have been a dramatic accident off of Irish town Rd near Wieland Road was avoided by the brute force of some local firefighters and passerbys. According to witnesses on scene a White Chevy Tahoe was reported tipping toward its side and about to roll over with only two men holding the SUV from tumbling. Apparently, the driver had swerved to avoid a car that pulled out of a shopping center in front of her. As a consequence she traveled up the side embankment of the road leaving her car dangerously close to rolling over. Two passerbys held the vehicle until Units from the Amador County Sheriff’s Department, the California Highway Patrol, Amador County Fire Protection District Battalion 10 and CalFire all arrived on the scene. Firefighters from Battalion 10 and Calfire were able to hold the vehicle while an air jack was used to right the vehicle and prevent additional body damage. The accident produced no injuries and is under investigation by the CHP
