Two collisions on the same day
Two traffic collisions occurred on the mountain last week, according to California Highway Patrol Accident Review Officer Ben Bolon.
On April 15 at 4:03 p.m., Richard Greenwood, 75 of Idyllwild, was in his blue 2014 Toyota Prius facing eastbound on North Circle Drive stopped in the right-hand shoulder. Donald Lee Rumler, 69 of Idyllwild, was driving his white 1993 Ford Explorer eastbound on North Circle Drive. When Greenwood pulled out to merge into the eastbound lane, he sideswiped Rumler. The left side of Greenwood’s Prius hit the right side of Rumler’s vehicle. Greenwood suffered minor injuries but was not transported to a local hospital. Both vehicles were towed by Idyllwild Garage.
On April 15 at 9 p.m., Andrew Dobbs, 25 of Hemet, was driving his silver 2003 Ford Escape while off-roading southbound on Fobes Ranch Road, north of Highway 74. For unknown reasons, Dobbs made a turn and collided with a large dirt mound. Dobbs was uninjured. His vehicle was towed by Idyllwild Garage.
