Two people hit after getting out of vehicle near Twin Bridges

The California Highway Patrol is currently working on an accident near Twin Bridges that involved four cars and resulted in two major injuries.

According to Jeff Gardner of the CHP in Meyers, a green Chevy Suburban was disabled when their chains came off just before 3:00 p.m. Friday, December 23. There were six people in the vehicle, and one got out to tend to the chains when they were hit by another vehicle. As another passenger from the Suburban got out to help, they too were hit by a car.

Emergency personnel were delayed due to several small accidents along the roadway, along with heavy holiday traffic.

As of 3:30 p.m., tow trucks and ambulances are at the scene along with law enforcement. Chain controls are up on Highway 50 from Meyers to Twin Bridges.

Take it nice and slow out there folks.
