Crime Blotter: Vehicle Flips on Mountain Trail

Crime blotter information provided by the Sierra Madre Police Department.

Saturday July 20, 2013

At 10:30am, a traffic collision took place in the intersection of Orange Grove Avenue and Mountain Trail Avenue.  A vehicle travelling south on Mountain Trail appropriately stopped for the stop sign but then entered the intersection directly into the path of a westbound vehicle.  The impact caused the westbound vehicle to flip upside down and the vehicle came to rest on its top. Remarkably, none of the parties sustained an injury.

Residents should call 9-1-1 to report any police, fire, or medical emergency, including:

• Crimes in progress or crimes that have just occurred
• Suspicious activity or behavior
• Fights or domestic violence
• Suicide attempts
• Building fires, brush fires, trash fires, or any other fires
• Traffic accidents
• Any medical emergency for which immediate care is needed
• Vicious animals – but not a bear walking through the neighborhood or yard

Residents are asked not to call 9-1-1 to report any non-emergency problems or to ask questions; instead, please call the Sierra Madre Police Department's non-emergency line at (626) 355-1414
