PG&E announced the increased flows for whitewater recreation, scheduled for last weekend — July 25 and 26 — in the Rock Creek Reach of the North Fork Feather River were canceled to allow a big rig to be pulled from the river.

According to the California Highway Patrol, a Thursday, July 25 collision resulted in minor injuries, a hazmat spill and required a boat rescue by Plumas County Search and Rescue. Highway 70 was closed morning to allow removal of a big rig, but the highway is now open.
