A single-vehicle collision occurred early this morning in Shingletown, CA, when a Ford vehicle crashed into a tree. The incident was reported at 12:38 AM and confirmed shortly thereafter at 12:41 AM. Emergency services were dispatched to the scene at 12:44 AM, but the driver declined medical assistance despite requesting a check-up.
At approximately 1:01 AM, an incomplete 911 call was reported, with no response from the driver. Emergency responders arrived on the scene at 1:15 AM to assess the situation. A tow truck was requested at 1:18 AM due to potential tire damage, specifically to the left front tire of the vehicle. Fortunately, the California Highway Patrol updated the incident status to "no injuries" at 2:02 AM, confirming that the driver had not sustained any injuries in the collision.
The crash took place at the intersection of Amberwoods Place and Emigrant Trail, an area that may have limited visibility at night. The driver remained at the scene and chose to stay with the vehicle instead of seeking medical attention. The tow truck arrived to assist with the vehicle's removal, as it was deemed unsafe to drive due to the possible tire damage.
This incident serves as a reminder for drivers to remain vigilant and cautious while driving, especially in less illuminated areas. The California Highway Patrol encourages all drivers to prioritize their safety and the safety of others on the road.
Traffic in the area was minimally impacted, as the incident occurred during the early morning hours when road usage is typically lower. The CHP is continuing to monitor the situation to ensure that the roadway is clear for other drivers.
