BUTTE COUNTY SHERIFFS WORKED DILIGENTLY TO SAVE A MOTHER AND HER YOUNG CHILD WHOSE CAR WAS STUCK IN THE SNOW

Officers with the Butte County Sheriff's Office worked to locate and save a mother and her one-year-old child when she took a wrong turn and her vehicle got stuck in the snow in Plumas County.

This all started on Friday, March 6 just before 9 p.m., Butte County Sheriff's Office says they received a call from a woman stating she was en route to Oroville from Sacramento with her one-year-old baby. The woman told our dispatchers her GPS had her take Lumpkin Road off Highway 70 but she now didn’t know where she was and was stuck in the snow.

Officials say as temperatures dipped, our dispatchers kept talking with her to get a better location of where the woman’s car was stuck.
