» CLARK COUNTY - A driver and his dog are lucky to be alive after the minivan they were in plowed through a cyclone fence, went down an embankment and plunged into Salmon Creek on Thursday. Scott Calderon was headed south on Highway 99 a little after 10 a.m. when he swerved to miss a utility truck and a barricade at the end of Klineline Bridge, which is closed. The bridge’s barricade is clearly marked, so how did Calderon (pictured on the right) end up in the mess he did? Well, it all started with his small dog, a chihuahua. “He got trapped under the brake and I tried to kick him loose,” said Calderon, who also had a cup of coffee in one hand and a cell phone in the other to contend with.Problem: we are not teaching people to drive for modern conditions; such as with a coffee in one hand and a cell phone in the other, while a small dog scampers at your feet. Clearly education is the key. What is needed is practice and a vat grown third arm as standard requirement for licensing.
