Weather related accidents pile up. Sunday, at approximately 5 p.m., the driver of this car was eastbound when he lost control of his vehicle and dropped down a 25-foot embankment near Atmore Road off Highway 126. The car then clipped several lemon trees, destroyed a steel pipe gate, struck a paved work road, and proceeded down another 15-foot embankment, crashing into a creek. The car then spun around 90 degrees, narrowly missing a power pole, ending up wedged into a concrete culvert, inches away from a high-pressure natural gas pipeline. The driver suffered a few minor scratches to his hand. No passengers were involved.

The car crashed over a ditch, through a heavy steel fence and approximately 100 feet into a lemon orchard. The other vehicle seemed to sustain minor damages. Cause of the accident was not available at press time. No serious injuries were reported.
