The Idyllwild community is coming together to support local resident Cammi Sue Mason-Chapman after a serious head-on collision on Highway 74 left her with multiple injuries and a long road to recovery.
According to reports, Cammi was involved in a crash near Valle Vista on the night of May 1 when another driver crossed into oncoming traffic and collided head-on with her vehicle. The crash left Cammi with two broken feet and a broken ankle, and her truck was totaled. At the time of the accident, she was seven months pregnant. Thankfully, her baby survived the crash.
The California Highway Patrol later stated that the other driver was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol following the collision.
Cammi is expected to be unable to work for at least 8 to 12 weeks while she recovers.
