Quincy, CA (July 21, 2025) – A serious accident occurred on Rich Bar Rd outside Quincy on Monday afternoon, when a gray 2011 Ford F-150 reportedly rolled more than 200 feet down a steep embankment.
The crash, which happened around 3:14 p.m., left at least one person trapped in the overturned vehicle and required extensive rescue efforts. First responders from Plumas County Sheriff’s Office and local medical crews arrived to find two victims, a male and female, who were extracted and transported for evaluation. A third victim remained in the vehicle while rescue efforts continued.
The difficult terrain led authorities to request an airlift from CHP Air Operations, though both Northern and Valley Air helicopters were unavailable at the time.
The cause of the crash remains under investigation, and the identities of those involved have not been released.
We extend our deepest concern to the injured and hope for their full recovery.
Commercial Truck Collisions in California
Crashes involving 18-wheelers, big rigs, and freight trucks are common on major routes like I-5, I-80, and corridors through the San Joaquin Valley. Due to their massive size, commercial trucks often cause severe injuries in a collision, including spinal trauma, brain injuries, or permanent disability. These crashes are often complex. Large trucks are subject to strict safety regulations that encompass maintenance, driver schedules, and cargo handling. When those rules are disregarded, the likelihood of a crash increases significantly. Truck accidents often involve multiple parties, including the driver, the trucking company, maintenance providers, and cargo contractors. Identifying fault requires quick access to driver logs, black box data, and inspection records. That’s why getting legal support from an experienced California truck accident lawyer is critical.
