California’s Siskiyou County has identified a novel way to evaporate the growing number of illegal cannabis farms sprouting up in a state that seems to forever be on the brink of drought: restrict where water trucks can go.
After green-lighting the new ordinance under the
Sikiyou County Code earlier this month, the Board of Supervisors issued a notice of a public hearing to gather additional input “relating to water trucks and regulating their use upon certain county roads.” That meeting is scheduled for June 1 or as soon thereafter as possible in response to COVID-19 infection rates at the time.

California Highway Patrol press release:
On May 10, 2021, at 12:35 a.m., a large tree fell across US-101, south of Redcrest, blocking the northbound and southbound traffic lanes that resulted in a series of traffic collisions minutes apart. A white 2011 Kenworth semi-truck pulling an empty milk tank trailer was traveling southbound on US-101 within the right lane when it collided head-on into the tree. The semi-truck crossed the northbound traffic lanes and drove off the east roadway edge where it came to rest down an embankment. The driver of the semi-truck was pronounced deceased at the scene. A red 2020 Jeep Cherokee driven by Marc Alexander Reichle of Fresno was traveling northbound on US-101 when the Jeep collided head-on into the tree and came to rest within the northbound traffic lanes.
