The Outpost‘s Kym Kemp is at the scene of a terrible vehicular melee that has completely shut down Highway 101 about three miles north of Laytonville. It looks like the road’s going to be closed for a while, too — the CHP dispatch log indicates that they’re having trouble finding a tow truck to handle the jackknifed big rig that is blocking both lanes. “All axles have damage on the big rig,” one dispatcher writes.

Four vehicles, including the truck, were involved in the accident, according to the CHP. An ambulance has been dispatched to the scene.
