REDBLUFF TheTehamaCounty Board of Supervisors is join- ing with other rural counties in strongly opposing a new defini- tion being proposed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to define its oversight over drink- ing water. The EPA says the new rule to define "Waters of the United States" clarifies language under the Clean Water Act to protect streams and wetlands.

Red Bluff police and fire offi- cials responded about 12:15 p.m. to a report of a traffic accident in the 1500 block of Scottsdale Way, near Carmel Way, Red Bluff police Sgt. Quintan Ortega said. The man, who was driving alone in a red 1993 Honda Civic, was reportedly traveling south on Scottsdale Way at a high rate of speed when he lost control of his vehicle, striking an unoccupied parked car and crashing into a white picket fence, Ortega said. The Honda came to a rest on a home's front lawn and sidewalk. The crash forced the parked car, a 2010 Lincoln MKS, across the street and into a neighbor- ing front yard. The driver was in and out of consciousness when offi- cials arrived at the scene and was taken to St. Elizabeth Community Hospital, Ortega said. About 1 p.m., the driver, whose name was not immedi- ately available, was said to be in stable condition. No other injuries were reported. Ortega said neither drugs nor alcohol are believed to be a factor in the crash, which was attributed to the driver's high rate of speed. A Scottsdale Way resident who witnessed the moments before the crash from his front window said he heard the driv- er's wheels sliding and saw the Honda partially drifting side- ways, narrowly missing his car parked on the street. "He was hauling, he was go- ing fast. Real fast," the resi- dent, Earl Wintle, said. Wintle, 67, said after the car left his sight, he heard a "loud crash," and left his home — lo- cated next door to the wreck — to help the driver. "We got his door open, and then I looked at him to make sure he wasn't bleeding," he said, adding that he advised other residents in the area to not move the driver. The Honda sustained major damage to its passenger side, and shattered glass was strewn about the scene. Wintle said he's lived on Scottsdale Way for 40 years, and only recalled two acci- dents in the area, including Friday's, in that time.
