Highway 395 Big-Rig Head-On
Fatal for Lassen County Man
One driver was killed, and one driver suffered moderate injuries Wednesday morning when two big rigs collided head-on north of County Road A25 on Highway 395.
According to details provided by the Susanville office of the California Highway Patrol, 45-year old Fallen, Nevada resident Moren Dahl, was driving a 2014 Peterbilt Semi, pulling a flatbed trailer, northbound on the highway, about five miles north of County Road A25.

“Mr. Dahl slowed his truck to make a right turn into a ranch that adjoins US 395,” explains Susanville CHP Public Information Officer Bruce Thuelchassaigne. “For reasons under investigation, the driver of a 2012 Mack Semi pulling a Chip trailer, which was also traveling northbound on US395, failed to slow for the truck in front of him.”
The Mack Semi struck the trailer of the Peterbilt Semi and, as a result of the collision, the driver of the Mack truck, only identified by the CHP as a 32-year old Lassen County resident, sustained fatal injuries. His name is being withheld pending notification of family.
The driver of the Peterbilt Semi was transported by SEMSA ambulance to Banner Lassen Medical Center for treatment of his injuries.
“US 395 was impacted for several hours while rescue and cleanup crews worked at the scene. We share our sincerest condolences with the family and friends of the deceased party. This crash is currently under investigation.”

Yuana Roxie Peconom 105 years old in a picture taken
for the 1954 Lassen County Centennial Celebration.

Susanville’s Honorary Queen for its Centennial has been here for the Whole Century
June 20, 1954
Yuana Roxie Peconom, oldest living resident of Susanville, is approximately 105 years old. Roxie was born on what is now known as the old Hulsman place at the foot of Diamond Mountain in Lassen county, apparently in 1849.
Her age is determined by different happenings and events that had taken place during her childhood. She was born into the Maidu Indian tribe and as a little girl Roxie can remember this valley as being covered with just sagebrush and scrub pine.
Her recollections of Susanville in its infant stage are numerous, as her mind and memory today are still very alert for her age.
Among her memories of Susanville in its early beginning are of its first buildings that were erected. There was a store, a blacksmith shop, jail, saloon, stable and also Roop’s Fort. She recalls that every time something burned in Susanville it was always a dwelling other than the jail house, as in her words, “Jail, him never burn.”
She tells many stories of Honey Lake Valley’s first settlers; one is the fine treatment the indians received from Med Arnold’s family.
Although Roxie has been blind for a number of years, she still manages to get around fairly well, and she is spry enough this year to be Lassen County’s Centennial Celebration honorary queen, and ride in the parade.
She has raised a family of 12, six boys and six girls, four of whom are still living. She has 18 grandchildren, 28 grandchildren and four great-great-grandchildren.
Many of her fine woven baskets and other forms of Indian craft have been exhibited at the State Fair in Sacramento for a number of years, and up to just a few years ago, although she was blind, she still managed to weave some of her fine baskets.
Asked what her secret is for living to such a ripe old age, she says, “Through prayer to my Maker, to give thanks for bringing each sunset and the dawn of each new day.”
