Twain Harte Woman, Dorothy Ruth Wright, Loses Life in Afternoon Head On Hwy 108 Collision (Name of Deceased Released)
Sonora, CA...Dorothy Ruth Wright, 55, from Twain Harte woman lost her life late this afternoon when her 2008 Honda collided head on with a 2006 Dodge pickup on Hwy 108 near Peaceful Oak Road. She was driving eastbound on Hwy 108 west of Peaceful Oak Road at approximately 55 mph. For unknown reasons, she drove her Honda off the south roadway edge and collided with a guard rail. She swerved abruptly to the left, over the solid double yellow lines and into the westbound lane directly into the path of the Dodge pickup. The 56 year old Twain Harte man driving the pickup observed the Honda and swerved to the right and applied his brakes in an attempt to avoid a collision.....
The Honda continued across the westbound lane and the right front of the Honda collided with the front of the pickup. Both vehicles continued in a northerly direction onto the north shoulder where the Dodge Pickup overturned.
The driver of the Honda sustained fatal injuries and there were initial reports of fire. The 56 year old Twain Harte man and the 49 year old female passenger from Twain Harte. Had complaints of pain but only sustained minor injuries.
It is unknown if alcohol or drugs were a factor in this collision pending further investigation. From all of us at ThePineTree.net our thoughts and prayers are with those affected by this accident.
Please everyone be careful on our local roads. While our area is less populated the two lane roads can prove especially deadly. Many of our accidents are head on collisions and can prove more deadly than freeway accidents in major metropolitan areas.
The identity of the deceased is withheld at this time pending family notifications
