Around
7:30 Tuesday morning, a car pulled out of Tabeau road in front of a Volcano Telephone truck towing a trailer
with large spools of cable on it. According to TSPN reporter Bill Lavallie, the truck driver’s
vision was hampered by early morning sun -- when the car continued into its
path, the driver
of the truck applied his brakes but was unable to stop in time. The driver of
the car was taken to the hospital by ambulance. The California High
Patrol is still investigating the cause of the accident at press time.
Witnesses on the scene said this is a very difficult intersection at this time
of the morning because of the sunlight and the fact that eastbound drivers
cannot see very well as they approach the intersection. A Bill
