Southern Humboldt Fire Chief Association Spokesperson George Monroe requested that LoCO and RHBB advise drivers to be more cautious during this rainy weather. He pointed out that there had been several accidents today.

One of these accidents, a head on collision, closed Shelter Cove road above the General Store temporarily this morning.

There were several other vehicle crashes. Most of them, fortunately, were no injury. Nonetheless, they didn’t brighten anyone’s day.

Monroe asked us to remind all Humboldt residents to drive more slowly and be alert to hazards in the road.
