I’ve spent the better part of my career here at the Rag trying to document all of the automobile versus building encounters (follow this chain of posts) in this here town. It’s been a challenge. I’ve missed many, to be sure. It happens all too often and really, it was beginning to become monotonous.
Sacramento, good on ya. You just made life worth living again:
A Winnebago motor home is one tough vehicle.
Just ask Citrus Heights police, who chased a stolen 27-foot model all over town Wednesday morning.
The desperate driver collided with other vehicles and a traffic signal pole as he drove an erratic route on streets that included Greenback Lane, Mariposa Avenue and Sunrise Boulevard.
Cars and helicopters from the California Highway Patrol, Sacramento County Sheriff’s Department and Sacramento police joined the pursuit.
The driver then steered the motor home through several fences and backyards before taking it over an embankment above the American River at Sunrise Boulevard.
That’s right. This ain’t no story about a car hitting a house. This is a story of a motorized house, hitting a river. Hot damn this will be a fun year!

and god, it breaks my heart that there was no helicopter footage of this.

Maybe the helicopter was busy running into power lines.

If you want cars hitting houses, I see it happen about three times a week right on my corner of 23rd and P in the heart of the Bar-muda Triangle (between 900 bars). They have to drive pretty far up the sidewalk to pull it off, but still manage. I don’t think the cops even get called half the time.

Singh, this is a great one! I saw the story and immediately thought of you. Glad you covered it and brilliantly I might add. I’ve been busy with the new mini-plumwin I brought home last month so I’m just catching up. By the way, where did the photos that DMZ’s daughter took go? I wanted to get a second look.
