Iowa Hill, CA – On Saturday afternoon, August 30, 2025, a single-vehicle crash left a car overturned off the roadway on Shirt Tail Canyon Road near Highway 97, according to CHP Fatal.
Placer County Sheriff’s logs and the California Highway Patrol (CHP) report that around 3:35 PM, authorities received notification of a vehicle off the road, later found to be upside down on a steep embankment with at least one flat tire.
Deputies and CHP officers arrived shortly after the report to secure the scene. First responders confirmed only one person was involved, and no other vehicles appeared connected to the crash.
Emergency personnel coordinated with towing services to safely remove the vehicle from the embankment while maintaining safety along the roadway. Multiple deputies remained on site to ensure the vehicle was secured and that no further hazards were present.
At this time, authorities are investigating the circumstances of the crash.
Single-Vehicle Collisions
In some cases, investigations may reveal that even in a single-vehicle accident, nearby drivers or unsafe road features share some responsibility. California’s Comparative Negligence rule means that, even if those injured in accidents are found partially at fault, they may still be eligible to receive partial compensation for damages.
