On Sept. 16 at 5:21 p.m. there was a traffic accident rollover in the 2200 block of Holland Loop Rd., Cave Junction. The Illinois Valley Fire District, two units from AMR-Josephine County, and Josephine County Sheriff’s Office, responded for a single vehicle accident. This caused a power outage in the area. Arriving units found one vehicle on its roof, striking a power pole. One person was still in the vehicle, and the second person was ejected.
Both patients were being cared for until AMR arrived on scene and took the most critical patient to a landing zone and Mercy Flights Inc, flew the patient to a trauma center. The second patient was transported by ground ambulance to the local hospital.
Roadway was cleared, and Pacific Power arrived on scene to complete the work on the damaged power pole and power was restored by 10:30 p.m.
