FVFD responded to a single vehicle crash on Main Street around 4am this morning. Lori and I were planning to get up early anyways to leave for San Jose, but this was earlier than I had wanted to get up. The driver of the car was the son of our fire chief, and he managed to hit a power pole (shearing it completely off), go up the curb and through the chain link fence before a couple of saplings saved the car from a complete and probably inverted landing in the creek below. Bad enough for the chief to have to respond to a crash involving a relative, but to add insult to injury, the next day his wife’s car got totalled by a runaway garbage truck.
