Sunday was a wild day for the CHP and local emergency crews yesterday as CHP units traveled to opposite ends of the county responding to accident after accident. Sunday Morning a van lost control on NY Ranch Road and rolled over onto its wheels.  The driver apparently misjudged the curve and skidded across the oncoming lane and landed in a ditch. There were minor injuries but no one was transported to the hospital. Yesterday just before noon yesterday a station wagon was reported off of Hwy 88 down a ravine near Cooks Station. Responding emergency crews found the occupants uninjured. At 12:29 yesterday afternoon a Motorcycle was reported down Irish Hill Road in the Ione area. Ione Fire, Calfire CHP and medics responded to find a 50 year of male down. The motorcyclist was med-flighted to UCDavis Med Center by reach 2 with reported paralysis from his chest down.

Just after 1 pm emergency crews then responded to N. Inspiration Dr  and Cedar in the upcountry area. The driver of a car had left the roadway striking a power pole. Emergency crews from Battalion 10 fire reported that only the car was holding that pole up and PG&E crews were quickly dispatched.
