A car driven by an elderly woman barreled through the stop sign at P and Hodgson and ended up some too yards from the roadway into the green belt the Sequoia Park Trail access and came to a stop after striking a tree. According to Chris Emmons, Public Information Officer for Humboldt Bay Fire, the initial report came in for an accident with an extrication. The first units on scene saw that there was minimal extrication needed, but due to the distance from the roadway the full response was continued. The elderly woman sustained major injuries and was transported to the hospital by ambulance in critical condition.
