Two With Major Injuries In Hwy 49 Crash
Mokelumne Hill, CA...A 26 year old man from Eldorado Hill was driving his 2000 Chevy in the Northbound traffic lane of State Route 49 at approximately 55MPH. A 45 year old Valley Springs woman was driving her 2009 Dodge in the Southbound traffic lane of State Route 49 at approximately 45MPH. P-1, due to his sleepy/fatigued state, allowed V-1 to travel to the left of the solid double yellow center line while attempting to negotiate a natural curve in the roadway to his right. P-2 observed V-1 drifting into her lane so she swerved to the right in the attempt to avoid the collision. V-1 then struck V-2. V-2 was then propelled into the steel guard rail located on the west road edge of SR49. After the collision, V-1 came to rest on its wheels facing in a Southerly direction blocking the Northbound traffic lane. V-2 came to rest on its wheels facing in a Southerly direction blocking the Southbound traffic lane. The roadway was closed for approximately 1 1/2 hours for removal of the vehicles...
The 26 year old Eldorado Hills man was flown to Memorial North in Modesto and the Valley Springs woman was flown to Doctors Hospital in Modesto. Both parties sustained major injuries in the accident.
Let's be careful out there...
