Emergency Crews Responded to, Cleaned Up Monday Rock Spillage on Roadway
The Illinois Valley Fire District cleared up a rock fall incident that occurred at Sours Flat in Cave Junction, and the corner of Redwood Highway and Deer Creek Road.
According to their post on Facebook, the IVFD responded to a fire assist call Monday at 9:30 a.m., regarding public safety on the roadway near the ghost town between Reeves Creek and Eight Dollar. The situation occurred due to a possible dump truck or trailer that dropped rocks on the roadway.
Traffic control measures were established, and by 11 a.m., all roads were opened following cleanup operations.
The rock fall reportedly extended about one-quarter of a mile. The Oregon State Police, Josephine County Sheriff's Office, and the Oregon Department of Transportation provided assistance.
