Single-Vehicle Collision on Highway 36 East, Dog Rescued by Authorities

AI SUMMARY: A male driver alone with a dog was involved in a traffic collision on Highway 36 East near mile marker 16.50 in Humboldt County. The vehicle went down a hill and stopped by a tree, approximately 55 feet from the roadway near a telephone pole. Emergency responders were en route to the scene, but it was difficult to locate due to it being on a logging road that does not appear in the dispatch system. Authorities were trying to guide responders to the location using specific directions. The driver may have mistakenly taken a private logging road and was possibly on private property. A helicopter was dispatched to assist in locating the vehicle, and it was noted that there was a dog inside the car that needed to be taken care of. Highway patrol officers were coordinating with animal control to safely retrieve the dog from the scene.
