A shift in gears resulted in a gravel truck versus pick-up truck accident on Monday. According to the California Highway Patrol, a big rig with 2 trailers and 80,000 lbs of gravel was driving south on Volcano Pioneer Road when the driver attempted to shift into a lower gear, missed the gear and rolled backward into a pick-up driven by a Sutter Creek man. The semi jack-knifed and blocked the road until CHP officers could sort things out. No one was injured in the accident and all the gravel stayed in the truck. And a couple of local men received moderate injuries when they rolled their 1989 Pontiac on Jackson Gate Rd. The CHP report says Jeffrey Payne, 19, of Mokelumne Hill was driving at high speed, overshot a curve in the road and overturned. Payne and his passenger, 21 year-old Dusty Lister of Jackson, were taken to Sutter Amador Hospital with moderate injuries. And a Reno man failed to see the 4-way stop at Hwy 49 and Martell Road on Monday. He drove into the intersection without slowing, running into a Sutter Creek woman who was turning through the intersection. Fortunately, no one was injured. Be careful out there!
