An RV was completely destroyed by fire late Wednesday afternoon.

At about 3:54 p.m. June 9, firefighters were dispatched to what was at first called a structure fire, mobile home, on the northbound side of Interstate 5 at Newville Road.

It turned out to be an RV fire at the far north end of the off-ramp from northbound I-5.

As firefighters arrived at the scene, they found the fully involved RV on the large gravel shoulder at the southeast corner of the intersection of the off-ramp and Newville Road.

The RV was a total loss.

Officers contacted Alfonso Banuelos Garcia, 55, who said he was driving his 2003 Honda Accord north on Sixth Street, approaching South Street, when he fell asleep and collided with a traffic light pole located in the triangle at the southeast corner of the intersection.

Orland police officers, firefighters, and ambulance personnel responded to a reported vehicle collision on East Street at Tehama Street at 7:43 a.m. on Tuesday, June 8. Officers contacted Cody Baylor, 17, who stated he was driving his blue 1975 Chevrolet pickup north on East Street, when a black 2015 Chevrolet Silverado driven by Frank Castro, 76, pulled out in front of him. The collision caused Pam Evaro, 63, who was walking in the roadway, to jump out of the way and fall to the ground to avoid being struck. All parties declined medical assistance. The pickup and the Silverado both sustained significant damage. Glenn County Observer photos by Larry Judkins.
