Tires hit golf fence

Colfax police officer Bryce Nebe and Public Works Director Andy Rodgers begin clean up work after two mounted tires damaged the city-owned fence along the North Palouse River Road Monday morning.

The tires were apparently launched from the top of the Buck Canyon grade before crashing into the fence along the Colfax Golf Course. The damage was discovered by the grounds crew at the course.

The tires and rims were in worn condition and appeared to be front tires off a tractor. One of the support poles on the fence was bent from the impact. One tire was found on the sidewalk and one was found on the North Palouse River Road.

The damage point on the fence, opposite the 9th tee, was below the pullout area at the top of Buck Canyon.
