Frank Walsh, Walsh Exterminating in Monrovia (626-359-4712) is EXCELLENT! My gardener got a dozen…Read More bites from ground wasps and Frank took care of the nest and they've never returned. We've used him for years for fleas, spiders, wasps, and rats. He's experienced, thorough, neat and best of all, checks the rat traps and disposes of them.
Good luck,
Rhonda Raulston

The turnout is also used by hikers to park their cars and, upon returning, several found themselves in the same predicament as the motorists; unable to head westbound due to the accident on one side and unable to head eastbound due to the waiting helicopter on the other. The motorists and hikers are to be commended for their understanding, patience, and cooperation while waiting it out in order to maintain an unobstructed route for the paramedics and victim to be shuttled by forest rangers between the landing site and the accident site. Ranger Steve from the Forest Service should also be commended for quickly securing the area and locking down traffic at this particularly dangerous curve thereby insuring the safety of everyone affected by the incident. The level of coordination and inter-agency cooperation evident in the actions of all the professionals involved in the rescue was extraordinary

Because of all the curves accidents on the Crest have the potential to escalate if not managed really well and Ranger Steve secured the road on either side in short order. It's horrible when someone is badly injured up there but having it turn into a multi-vehicle accident would be so much worse.
