Pioneer, CA...Orval Flannery was driving his Cadillac westbound on Tiger Creek Road, east of Old River Road, in Amador County. He was driving at an unknown speed when he approached a gradual right hand curve in the roadway. Mr. Orval allowed the Escalade to travel off the south side of Tiger Creek Road where it rolled over multiple times down a steep dirt and rock embankment where Flannery, passenger Fillmore and passenger Wilson were all ejected due to not using their seatbelts. Passenger Wilson sustained moderate injuries, driver Flannery sustained life threatening major injuries and passenger Fillmore sustained fatal injuries.

Caldor Fire Now 400 Acres & 0% Containment |
|
Posted by: thepinetree on 08/15/2021 09:50 PM
|
Grizzly Flats, CA...The Caldor Fire is burning in the Middle Fork Cosumnes River Canyon east of the Omo Ranch area near Sopiago Creek. Challenging terrain has made accessing the fire difficult. The fire grew to approximately 300 acres today as it moved east. Direct attack was used where possible to do so safely and firefighters scouted routes for indirect line construction. Although ordered, fixed wing aircraft were grounded by smoke at their home bases so they could not be utilized on this fire today. Three helicopters worked with firefighters all day and are expected for tomorrow. The US Forest Service and CalFire are now in unified command of the Caldor Fire. Crews are also working on a large spot fire on Big Mountain Ridge.
