A car plunged about 20 feet down landing in a riverbank in Paso Robles Sunday evening, but the driver emerged from the crash with just moderate injuries. [KSBY]

At about 8 p.m., fire personnel found the vehicle down the riverbank near 6400 N. River Road and Wellsona Road. The car was lying close to the riverbed.

It is unclear what caused the driver to leave the roadway. The extent of the driver’s injuries is also unclear.

Personnel from Cal Fire, the CHP and Paso Robles Department of Emergency Services responded to the crash.

…And in a shout-out to Cal Fire, Paso Robles Police announced on the spot they would bill the driver twenty thousand dollars, about one thousand dollars per foot, for costs of extricating the driver………

Unfortunately, an inter-agency gentleman’s argument ensued at the crash site when the Cal Fire incident chief accosted the PRPD representative and accused PRPD of “copying our funding strategy”.

After brief combative fisticuffs, the uniformed participants suddenly realized they are ALL on the same route to a whopping pension bandwagon, handshakes were exchanged, and everyone left smiling.
