Here’s what I’m hearing this morning: It’s been q-u-i-e-t out there.
Except, Riverside Fire Authority Capt. Casey McCarthy says the outgoing crew was called about 9:45 last night to a report a vehicle struck the median on southbound Interstate 5 at milepost 84 near the Lewis-Thurston county line and then went about 25 feet down an embankment.
It appears there were no more than minor injuries, McCarthy said.
Four of the six individuals who’ve checked in to the Lewis County Jail since yesterday afternoon appear to be simply serving time for past arrests. Looks like Lewis County sheriff’s deputies arrested one person for drugs this morning.
If anyone’s heard anything different, or got a news tip, you know where to reach me.
I may have to go out and snap a picture of a baby farm animal or something. Check back later.
Oh wait. In the meantime, here’s something I meant to share a while back.
Lewis County Fire District 5 invited news reporters a couple months ago to do a little hands-on learning about the work they do.
You can see below a bit of what I learned that day.
