Wheatland sits along Rt 65 and SR-65, with Spenceville Road and Wheatland Road feeding local traffic through town. In the most recent full year on record, Yuba County logged 17 injury collisions here that hurt 29 people β thankfully with no reported traffic deaths. Small numbers don't mean small consequences: a broken bone, a head injury, or months of physical therapy can upend a household regardless of how many other collisions happened that year. If you were hurt on one of these roads, or anywhere else in town, you probably have questions about medical bills, missed work, and what comes next.
