No one was seriously injured in a vehicle accident late Thanksgiving morning, but the three vehicles involved were more or less totaled.
Two of the vehicles were parked when they were hit.
Shortly before 11 a.m., emergency responders were dispatched to a report of a vehicle collision in the 200 block of East Yolo Street, across from the fairgrounds.
Orland Police Officer Kat Lowery and Sergeant Kyle Cessna, with some help from California Highway Patrol Officers Rodney Pozzi and Ron Benfer, believe the driver of a Chevy was traveling west on East Yolo Street from Papst Avenue at a speed greater than the speed limit.
The Chevy first struck a Honda parked in the street, doing major damage to the Honda’s front driver’s side wheel and axle, as well as ripping the front bumper off the car.
The Chevy continued westbound, spun around, jumped the curb at 232 East Yolo, and struck the rear end of a Cadillac parked in the driveway.
The driver’s side of the Chevy collided with a tree in the yard.
The Chevy also took out much of the white picket fence at the residence and did significant damage to a water pipe.
Fortunately, no one was seriously injured, and no one was arrested.
Besides the Orland and CHP officers, Glenn County Sheriff’s Deputy Grant Lemmon, several Orland firefighters, Westside Ambulance personnel, Ed Vonasek of Orland Public Works, a Bambauer Towing worker, and a plumber responded to the scene.
