slide13Yesterday at approximately 1pm an accident was reported on Sutter Creek Volcano road across from Pine Gulch Court. The accident was described by the person who called it in as severe. A helicopter as well as an ambulance was immediately called in for what was now revealed as a 2 vehicle accident. Shortly there after a second ambulance was called in to help accommodate 3 injured people.
slide14 According to the investigating officer on scene, Officer Drake Wilburn, the teen driver of the white Chevy pickup truck was westbound on Sutter Creek Volcano Road. While negotiating a right hand curve the back end of the vehicle began to fish tail and the vehicle entered the opposing lane of traffic. A blue Buick in the east bound lane saw the white pickup and swerved to the shoulder of the road in an attempt to avoid a collision, but it was too late and the rear of the pickup struck the front of the Buick. The Chevy pickup suddenly went air born hitting a tree and then deflecting back onto the roadway landing in the roadway.  The passenger of the pickup truck identified only as a 16 or 17 year old male was air lifted from Westover field to Sutter Roseville hospital. Officer Wilburn indicated that it appears the teen was air lifted for precautionary reasons.  The driver and passenger of the Buick were transported to SAH with minor injuries. CHP is conducting an investigation of the accident and we hope to have the full report sometime today.
