California Highway 17 fatal wreck

Traffic was backed up all night through the Santa Cruz Mountains past my home along Highway 17. Even if you don’t know the codes it’s not too hard to figure out from the context. “TC” is “Traffic Collision”; “1125” is traffic hazard (i.e. crashed vehicles are still in the roadway); “1141” is ambulance requested; “1144” is fatality.

6:25PM HIGH SPEED TC
6:26PM 1 VEH SUV & 2ND SD
6:26PM UNK IF 1125 OR NOT
6:26PM 1039 NETCOMM FOR FIRE/1141

6:27PM POSS 1 VEH SMOKING

Maybe it’s time to re-read The Flying King fairy tale.
