CHP - Red Bluff

Recently, one of our officers responded to a report of goats blocking SR-36. Fortunately, the officer was able to locate the goats and guide the small herd back to their property before a crash occurred.

If you own livestock, please check your fencing regularly. Goats are talented escape artists, and a quick inspection can prevent a dangerous situation on the roadway.

3:50 p.m. UPDATE: Both lanes are now open. Caltrans will continue with cleanup for approximately 30 minutes. Please continue to drive with caution in this area.

11:20 a.m. UPDATE: One-way traffic control is still in place. Three vehicles were involved in the crash, two were fully engulfed in flames. Thankfully, all parties were wearing seatbelts and were able to escape the flames. No significant injuries occurred.

10:20 a.m. UPDATE: One-way traffic control is now in place.

9:40 a.m. Both lanes of 99E at 9th Ave are temporarily blocked due to a crash. CHP is investigating. Please avoid the area.

This little kitty was called in on northbound I-5 north of Ho**er Creek Road. Officer Parker was in the area and quickly responded. He located the kitty curled up in a ball in the middle of the lane and saved it from being hit by a vehicle!
