Traffic Collision on Highway 3 Leads to Debris Found Along Roadway, Ambulance En Route

AI SUMMARY: A traffic collision was reported on Highway 3 between mile markers 29,000 and 30,447, with an ambulance en route. A witness reported seeing damaged bushes and trees, along with an unknown white object at the bottom of an embankment, too far down to determine if it was a vehicle. Debris, including part of a door, a fender, a battery, and other miscellaneous items, were also found on the side of the road. The California Highway Patrol coordinated with the Trinity County Sheriff's Office and determined that it was a previous collision, as the tire tracks had been present for about a week. No vehicle was found, only debris.
