WILLITS, 12/28/19 — A single-car crash north of Willits, on U.S. Route 101, is causing some traffic back up, and emergency personnel are responding to the scene.
The crash occurred at “Oil Well Hill,” a curvy grade at the north end of the Little Lake Valley with almost incessant car crashes, and involved a Nissan Murano, which crashed into the embankment. The crash was called in around 4:35 p.m. At least one person was injured and an ambulance has been called to the scene, and the car appears to have had three children as passengers.
