Crescent City, CA (July 24, 2020)– A collision between a vehicle and a bicycle on Highway 101 left Tanner Smith injured on Thursday morning.
 
The incident happened on July 23 at about 11:06 a.m. just north of Dr. Fine Bridge. According to the report, a vehicle driver identified as Jamie Pfau, 47, of Brookings was driving a 2019 Ford Fusion.
 
Pfau was traveling southbound on US-101 approaching Dr. Fine Bridge.
 
At the same time, a bicyclist identified as Tanner Smith, 21, of Cameron Park was heading southbound of the bridge. As Pfau approached the bicyclist, she drove onto the shoulder of the road thus, colliding with Smith.
 
After that, the Ford continued onto the embankment before it overturned. Pfau sustained minor injuries from the incident.
 
Moreover, Smith suffered moderate injuries as a result. Emergency personnel gave both Pfau and Smith medical assistance. Both of them were also taken to Sutter Coast Hospital for treatments.

The perverse actions of a reckless driver can increase the likelihood of traffic collisions. If you are a pedestrian, bicyclist, or driver, pay close attention to those around you. Always keep a considerable distance from others just in case harm is near.
