Glenn County Observer
The Orland Police Department released information Monday morning regarding Sunday’s crash at Sixth and Date Streets.
At about 5:15 p.m. on April 4, emergency responders were dispatched to a report of a two-vehicle traffic collision with injury.
As mentioned in yesterday’s (Sunday’s) Glenn County Observer story, the accident was originally reported as being at Sixth and Monterey Streets, but was soon corrected to Sixth and Date Streets, north of the Orland Arch.
Orland officers made contact with Mauro Martinez, 48, and Alan Armstrong, 65, both residents of Orland.
It was determined that Martinez was driving north on Sixth Street in a green Ford Ranger, attempting to turn left (west) on Date Street, while Armstrong was driving north on Sixth Street in a 2001 Hyundai Santa Fe, behind Martinez.
Armstrong failed to stop and collided with the rear of Martinez’s vehicle.
Armstrong was transported by Westside Ambulance to a local hospital and an accident investigation was initiated by the Orland Police Department.
