Over The Hill
The FVFD responded to a single vehicle traffic accident four miles up the Wildcat. A lady driving from Petrolia to Ferndale drove her car off the side of the road. I’ve circled the car so you can see it. It was very hard to see from the road, and she left no skid marks or any other sign on the road that she went off there. It must have been a pretty hairy ride down because it looked like she hit at least one tree on the way down, and I imagine the vehicle must have rolled several times given the position it was in and how steep the bank is. She was very lucky in not only did she survive the crash, but she managed to crawl back up to the road where a passing motorist saw her and called 911. With the fog rolling in and darkness encroaching, it would have been a long search for her if she had just been reported missing. She and her dogs are all doing ok. No word on why she drove off the road.
