Traffic Update...Overturned Vehicle on Parrotts Ferry...Updated Parrots Ferry Blocked |
|
Posted by: John_Hamilton on 01/02/2013 09:17 AM

Columbia, CA...Crews are working an overturned van on Parrotts Ferry Road and about 20ft off the roadway and down an embankment as well. Initial reports of a couple of people pinned in as well. GPS puts it closer to Columbia but initial reports are that it is close to the county line. If so this one may have been black ice related as on cold mornings the shaded section of Parrotts Ferry closer to the lake almost always has some icy patches. Please use caution and expect delays in the area.... Update Parrotts Ferry will remain closed due to ice and vehicles blocking lanes until the incident is cleared...
