Tree Across Entire Road Causes Traffic Hazard in Humboldt Area

AI SUMMARY: The California Highway Patrol received multiple reports of a traffic hazard involving a fallen tree obstructing the entire roadway at 19244 and 591985. The tree was reported at 20:24 and by 20:35 it was blocking the road. However, the CHP was not in the area and directed the call to the Humboldt area dispatch center. The tree was located on a forest route off of Bair Rd, but CHP only handles Bair Rd and Stover, not forest routes. CHP believes the area where the tree fell is privately owned and not within their jurisdiction.
