no update other than the 35-yo driver is being held at the county jail.

The accident was about 5-miles west of Little Black which is about 5-miles straight south of Medford, on SR 13.
Find Abbotsford on 29, then Curtiss to the west, now go straight north on E, about 10 miles.
City driver in the country. Warnings are probably posted.

Seen this happen many times in open range cow country.
