Happy everyone walked away with no Injuries, and thanks to the  Kanawha Volunteer Fire Department for their help.

In this predictable crash on County Road D, south of County Road 57, a father without a driver's license was attempting to teach his 13 year old daughter how to drive. She lost control of the vehicle which left the roadway, overturned in a ditch, and caught fire.

As we are in the midst of the statewide Click it or Ticket campaign, we would be remiss if we failed to mention that the one lesson the father successfully taught his young daughter as she began her premature driving career was to buckle up. Thanks to that wise instruction, injuries were prevented.

California Vehicle code 21809 requires motorists to move over into an adjacent lane if safe, or to slow down, when passing a stationary road maintenance vehicle, or tow truck displaying orange hazard warning lights, or a stationary emergency vehicle with emergency lights activated.

Give them a brake! Their kids and families will appreciate it.

The California Highway Patrol's Maximum Enforcement Period last Tuesday resulted in the issuance of over 19,564 citations and 2,807 warnings statewide. Of the citations issued, 11,767 were for speeding with 200 being for speeding over 100 miles per hour. Last year in California, speeding was a contributing factor in over 110,000 crashes. Of those crashes, there were over 400 speed related fatalities and 68,000 injuries. The next time you're tempted to open up the throttle on the highway, keep in mind the risks that come from driving at excessive speeds.

The California Highway Patrol will conduct a 24-hour Maximum Enforcement Period (MEP) focused on speeding to help reduce serious and fatal crashes across California. The MEP begins at 6 a.m. on April 28 and ends at 5:59 a.m. on April 29. The enforcement effort will take place throughout the day and night, emphasizing that there is no safe time or place to drive at unsafe speeds.

During the operation, officers will monitor roadways and take enforcement action against drivers who exceed posted speed limits or travel at unsafe speeds for the conditions. Speeding reduces a driver’s ability to react to changing traffic conditions and greatly increases the severity of crashes. Even a slight increase in speed can significantly affect the outcome of a crash.

The Willows Area would like to welcome Officer Alfaro to Glenn County. Willows is his first assignment with the California Highway Patrol since graduating from the academy and he is looking forward to serving the local residents. Having grown up in a small town in Northern California, we think he is going to fit right in. The unconfirmed rumor is that the first person to meet him in a coffee shop and ask for coffee will get a cup on him.

The California Highway Patrol is warning people about fake text messages claiming they owe money for unpaid tickets.

Several people have reported getting suspicious texts from unknown numbers. The messages say the person has unpaid tickets and are threatening them with final reminders, and include a payment link to avoid repercussions.

The texts are fake and part of a phishing scam. Please do not click links or share any personal or financial information with unknown callers or texters. CHP does not elicit payments via text message.

Anyone who gets a call or text from someone claiming to be from CHP and asking for money should report it to local law enforcement immediately.
