And the wall came tumbling down!

Orland – At about 6:45 a.m., the California Highway Patrol received a report of a single-vehicle rollover on the northbound side of Interstate 5, north of Orland. The call was initially said to be just south of County Road 7, but when nothing was found in that area, emergency responders began looking elsewhere. The accident was soon found to be along the northbound side of I-5, just south of the Highway 32 exit. Police scanner chatter indicated a vehicle was traveling north on I-5, when its driver fell asleep, traveled off the roadway to the east, and crashed through a wall erected as a noise barrier between I-5 and Porter Drive. At about 7:04 a.m., further response from the Orland Fire Department was canceled. Glenn County Observer photo by Donna Wilder.
