Williams Creek Wreck
The last few mornings have been very cold by Ferndale standards, with temps dipping just below freezing. This morning the FVFD got a call of a traffic accident on Williams Creek Road, which is the same road as Rose Ave after it crosses Grizzly Bluff. We arrived to find a van had gone off the icy road and crashed into a dump truck. Normally, you don’t want to crash into dump trucks, but in this case it probably prevented her from rolling the van down the embankment. The driver asked us to thank the owner of the dump truck for parking it there. The van was totalled, but the dump truck suffered only minor damage, and the van just missed hitting the fuel tank on the side of the truck by inches. (The black and white photo makes it look like it was snowing, it wasn’t. Just very frosty.)
