A traffic collision involving two vehicles occurred today on Marshall Road in Georgetown, California, resulting in one vehicle ending up in a ditch. Emergency services, including CALFIRE, responded promptly to the incident, which was reported at approximately 2:56 PM.
The collision involved a teal-green Chevrolet pickup truck and a black Honda sedan. Upon arrival, emergency responders found the Chevrolet pickup truck in a ditch, appearing abandoned and not drivable. Fortunately, there were no reported injuries, as the occupants of both vehicles were not present at the scene when help arrived.
Witnesses indicated that the traffic collision occurred on private property adjacent to the street. One witness had to leave the scene for a doctor's appointment shortly after the incident, which may have limited the information available about the circumstances leading to the collision.
