Head-On Crash On Douglas Ranger Station

NORTH FORK – Douglas Ranger Station road is so narrow and winding, that when first responders made their way up to a head-on collision, it was a challenge just to fit to big engines in the roadway.

On Saturday afternoon, June 8, Justin Crossley in a Dodge truck, and Jessica Coleman, driving a Chevy Blazer, hit head-on in a tight corner about three miles up from Road 225.

North Fork Engine #11 and Squad #11 responded, along with Sierra Engine E51, Sierra Ambulance, CHP and Forest Service Law Enforcement.

The road was closed for a of couple hours as EMTs checked everybody out and treated a minor scrape or two.
