A Willows woman suffered major injuries following a rollover accident on Highway 162 Sunday morning.

At 10:04 a.m. on Sunday, Feb. 6, Stesha Thuemler, 37, of Willows, was driving her 2004 Discovery Land Rover east on Highway 162, approaching County Road 302 at about 55 miles per hour. This intersection is located northwest of Thunderhill Raceway.

According to the California Highway Patrol media release, Thuemler allowed the vehicle to travel across the double yellow lines and into the westbound lane. Thuemler corrected the Land Rover and turned it back to the right, into the eastbound lane.

The vehicle traveled off the roadway and off a descending dirt and grass embankment. The Land Rover collided with a large rock and wire fence, then rolled over more than once and crashed into a dirt and grass field.

According to the Glenn County dispatcher as heard on the police scanner, a witness reported that the vehicle came to rest on its roof. The CHP media release stated the Land Rover was about 98 feet south of the south roadway edge.

Thuemler was partially inside the vehicle when the CHP arrived. According to the Glenn County dispatcher, a witness reported the victim could be seen moving her legs.

Thuemler was flown to Enloe Medical Center in Chico for treatment of major injuries. According to CHP Officer Forslund, she was not wearing her seat belts at the time of the accident.

Sirens screamed through Orland and northern Glenn County Monday morning as emergency responders headed to the scene of a vehicle fire at Highway 32 and County Road O.

The call went out at about 5:24 a.m. Law enforcement officers arrived first on the scene, and the actual location of the burning vehicle was revised slightly to County Road O, just north of Highway 32.

The vehicle was then said to be a fully involved travel trailer.

A law enforcement officer reported “explosions” coming from the burning vehicle, so one lane (presumably the westbound lane) was shut down for a few minutes until the explosions stopped.

It is unknown whether the explosions were caused by rupturing tires, bursting propane tanks, or whatever.

At about 5:42 a.m., an emergency responder reported that the fire was arson.

Roughly 10 minutes later, the “travel trailer” was corrected to “motorhome,” approximately 25 feet in length.

At 6:03 a.m., the Orland Fire Department reported the blaze was “knocked down,” and the volunteers would be “mopping up” for a while longer.

At 6:11 a.m., the fire units began returning to quarters.

Presumably, arson investigators arrived at the scene sometime after this.

Early in the afternoon, The Glenn County Observer arrived at the scene, where Lewis Bambauer and Bambauer Towing employees were busy removing the thoroughly charred remains.

A person was killed early Friday afternoon in a rollover accident on Interstate 5, north of County Road 24.

The information that follows is taken from the California Highway Patrol’s traffic incident website and police scanner chatter. The information from both of these sources is never completely reliable, as it often consists of unverified statements from unobjective witnesses.

However, according to the CHP traffic incident page, at about 12:42 p.m., a report was received of a vehicle on its roof. Another report stated a vehicle went through center divide and flipped several times.

According to the police scanner, the driver was ejected from the vehicle.

At 12:45 p.m., the CHP said another caller reported a vehicle lost control and came across the roadway.

Scanner chatter stated CPR was in progress. The person performing CPR was reportedly an off-duty emergency responder.

The person was soon pronounced dead.

At 12:53 p.m., the traffic incident page stated that the fast lane was blocked by medical personnel.

At 1 p.m., CalTrans responded with a sweeper. Both southbound lanes needed to be swept.

According to the scanner, a deputy contacted Glenn County Communications, requesting the estimated time of arrival for a particular responder whose services were needed at the accident scene. The dispatcher contacted the responder, who said he or she would be at the scene in about an hour.

The deputy then told the dispatcher in no uncertain terms that “this is not acceptable” and to recontact the responder. If there is still a problem, said the deputy, have the responder contact the deputy personally.

The dispatcher recontacted the responder. The dispatcher then told the deputy the responder would be at the accident scene in 15 minutes.

Unfortunately, this was not the only vehicle accident on I-5, south of Orland, early Friday afternoon. At about 1:29 p.m., long before the accident farther down the freeway had been completely cleared, a report was received that two semis had collided on the southbound side of I-5, south of County Road 16.

The involved vehicles were in the slow lane of southbound I-5, while debris was in the fast lane.

The CHP’s traffic incident page reported at 1:42 p.m. that one big rig rear-ended the other, and that one of the vehicles was wedged into the other. The cab of one of the semis was said to be “totaled,” and one of the vehicles was loaded with beer.

According to scanner chatter, a hazardous material was leaking from one of the semis. According to the CHP incident page, at 2:24 p.m., CalTrans was on-scene and “should be making the call for [Glenn County Environmental Health] to respond.”

At 2:31 p.m., CalTrans was reported to have contacted drivers, trying to get tow and big rig companies to respond to the scene to clean up.

Additional information may be available in the coming days. Be sure to check for updates from The Glenn County Observer.

About 3:30 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 29, the fire dispatcher for the Orland Fire Department received a report of a dryer fire at the Blue and White Laundromat on South Street, near the Grocery Outlet.

Firefighters responded there but no fire was found. Minutes later, Orland volunteers were dispatched to a report of a fire at the laundromat near Sav-Mor market.

In fact, one of the first firefighters at the scene was a volunteer who was shopping in the market. Soon, numerous firefighters and three or four OFD vehicles, including the ladder truck, were on scene.

Some volunteers climbed onto the roof, looking for hot spots. Others extinguished the fire in the laundromat and blew the smoke out of the business.

About 4:15 p.m., the fire was out and the volunteers began to head back to the station. No one was injured and the damage appeared to be minor.
