REDDING, Calif. — A female suffered significant injuries after an all-terrain vehicle, quad-related accident in Redding, behind and just west of the Shasta Dam earlier this afternoon, Monday, Feb. 15.

According to coordinates provided by a CHP incident log regarding the accident, the crash was reported at the Chappie Off-Highway Vehicle (OHV) Park, near the three-way intersection of Coram and Westside roads and Whiskeytown-Shasta Trinity-Nra.

Fire and rescue personnel were alerted to the crash around noon, after a 911 caller reported that a female of unknown age had “rolled” a quad she had been riding. The caller told emergency dispatchers that the female had suffered rib and back injuries and needed immediate medical care.

Flight radar records showed the path of Airbus H125, which attempted to respond to the scene but had to cancel due to flight conditions in the area of today’s crash.

At 12:38 p.m., while firefighters and paramedics were still responding to the area – reported to be off the Shasta Dam access road – they requested a CHP helicopter and Air Ambulance to the scene.

However, both had to decline due to weather conditions, according to CHP’s incident log.

Fire and rescue personnel eventually reached the victim and she was treated at the scene before being transported by ground ambulance to an area hospital.

No further information was available as of this report.
