robk (K6RBK)Jun 17 : 09:12pmWe must have driven by just before Marty, as we passed 3 responding fire vehicles once we passed the scene.
I was paying close attention to the folks directing traffic so I didn't get a good look at precisely where we were (or the vehicles involved), but if it's the one I'm thinking of that corner is reverse banked with a fairly straight stretch leading into it (downbound); easy to come into it a little too fast (have seen lots of cars do it) and there aren't any of the arrows marking the corner ahead.
Hope everyone recovers.
BookwormJun 17 : 08:42pmSTILL 20-30 MINUTES FOR PATIENT EXTRICATION.
PortiaJun 17 : 08:31pmHe said it was an older dark grey car against the tree and a white compact was the second vehicle but I do see that the CHP log makes no mention of a second car.
MartyJun 17 : 08:19pmWow, I didn't really see the second involved car!
MartyJun 17 : 08:18pmOne car, off the side, looked like it might have rolled first. Two or three other cars on scene; no obvious damage so I'm not sure if they were involved. Also one 18 wheeler with a truck on it's bed also pulled over. Pedestrians out directing traffic around the wreck. I was surprised to see units from Big Bear responding. That's a long time to be trapped!
PortiaJun 17 : 08:17pmMy husband just called on his way down 38. The downward traffic has been released. Most of the victims have been cleared. One car still wedged up against a tree and they are working to get someone out of that car. It was a two car head on TC.
BookwormJun 17 : 08:13pmThey shut it down so Mercy Air could land at the Jenks Lake turnout. Did you just see one car Marty?
MartyJun 17 : 08:11pmPassed that accident 1/2 hour ago on my way up. They seemed to be working to excavate the occupant(s). Road was not closed at that time. Only half the down bound lane was blocked. Saw two units from BBC fire responding. I don't understand these types of accidents!
BookwormJun 17 : 08:07pmEXTRICATION STILL IN PROGRESS
BookwormJun 17 : 07:52pmHIGHWAY 38 CLOSED AT JENKS LAKE.
BookwormJun 17 : 07:52pmJUST HEARD THAT THE PATIENT IS STILL TRAPPED.
WhateverJun 17 : 07:41pmWhat is UP with all these accidents on the 38? Sheesh!
