" "steep embankment" wait what? another NVR exaggeration. surprised you didn't add sports cars to this one "

" "trailer-truck" ? I think that sensationalizing like this is really stretching it. "

" you know, the little rumbly strips would have prevented this......../sarcasm "

" sounds like the 5 star crash protection didnt work on that Infinity "

" WHY are some of you SO critical of NVR writings and reporting of our news? Would you rather they finally get fed up with all your complaining and say "okay people, find your own news" and they just quit posting. How about YOU writing all the articles if you think you can do it better. Go apply at the Register for a job doing so. Did you ever think of how much goes into printing newspapers daily and filling the content .. every single day. 365 days a year. Jeez, give them a break and let them know you appreciate them bringing us our local news. "

" anothervoice, I agree with what you wrote. Thank you. "

" Radio personality and writer Scoop Nisker used to end his radio segment with "if you don't like the news go out and make some of your own." "

" anothervoice, the NVR could do SO much better than they do.

This article was more informative than most of the NVR-style articles. There were actually a 'who', a 'what', a 'where', a 'when', and even some information about a beach house that may have figured into the 'why'.

If you were to look at many of the typical NVR articles with a neutral perception, you will often see many of the articles lack many of the components of basic journalism. I understand some of the obstacles that they may face, but there usually is no attempt to follow up the vague initial reports.

It's too bad. I wish they'd be as good as I remember that they used to be. "

" reason-ator: You are correct about basic journalism. This is the Napa Register, not the Wall Street Journal. I appreciate the "breaking news" printed online during the day and I would imagine they may not have all the detailed information right away. And you know how we all are these days .... yesterday's news is "old" news, so possibly they don't print the now known facts on a story the next day ?? That is just a guess. Since signing onto this Join the Conversation option we all have, it just seems there are soooooo many critical comments made about everything, including the abilities of the NVR. "

" Well...

The one thing that as I see as a missing item in this article is the names of the dogs and cat in the accident. If all of the people names are included, why not the animals? They were just as much a part of this story as the rest!

Unless the animals are juvenile, then I see no reason why their names should not be in print. Aside from that, this article is just fine.

Poor kitty must have really been scared. Welp, 8 lives left! "

" NVR got it right! I was an eye witness traveling in the car right behind the truck. The photo does not show the trailer very well behind the truck. I would have been in this accident if not for probably two seconds. The only thing the story is missing is the amazingly fast response of the CHP helicopter and emergency personnel! "

" This happened right in front of me. I am glad to see the guy in the white car is ok bc it looked pretty bad. No idea why he veered off into oncoming traffic. "
