Jade Jolson, One Other Injured in Tree Collision on Bucks Bar Road [El Dorado County, CA]
Two Hospitalized after Suspected DUI Accident near Pleasant Valley Road
EL DORADO COUNTY, CA (February 13, 2023) – Sunday evening, a truck crash on Bucks Bar Road left Jade Jolson and her male passenger injured.
The incident happened on February 5th, at around 6:20 p.m., near the intersection of Pleasant Valley Road and Bucks Bar Road.
According to reports, a 2012 Chevrolet truck was driving along Bucks Bar Road when it collided with a large Oak tree. As a result of the collision, the two occupants of the truck became trapped inside.
Emergency services arrived shortly after and used the Jaws-of-Life to extricate the driver, Jolson, and her male passenger. Firefighters were able to extricate the passenger in about 20 minutes. However, extricating Jolson took longer because the crash damaged the driver’s side of the truck more severely than the passenger’s side. In all, the rescue took about two hours.
Following the rescue, the male victim was taken to a local hospital via ground transport. Meanwhile, 24-year-old Jade Jolson, of Grizzly Flat, was airlifted to the hospital, due to the extent of her condition.
Afterward, police arrested Jolson on suspicion of driving while under the influence.
