OpGov.News contacted the Placer County Sheriff’s Public Information Officer (PIO) to confirm the incident and request more information. While the sheriff’s department did not have a record of it, they advised contacting the California Highway Patrol (CHP).
Though the CHP’s front representative confirmed the incident, but stated that the PIO was out of the office. The officer confirmed that as of approximately 1:57 p.m. that it had “come over the radio that there was a fatality,” and that CHP was still “at the scene.”
The officer also confirmed that a life flight was not able to participate in the rescue due to inclement weather. The CHP provided no further information at this time.
