"Roll on the Mattole"
July 12, 2003
On their way to a concert billed as "Roll on the Mattole", this bus load of people stayed with the theme, rolling their bus on Mattole Rd after losing their brakes. Purchased a day earlier, the bus was advertised as having new brakes. But Mattole Rd. is not a great road to be on in a bus, new brakes or not.
The initial call came in as 20-30 injured, so response teams were called from Petrolia, Honeydew, Ferndale and the Coast Guard. Fortunately, there were really only 10 people in the bus, and most received only minor injuries.
