A quiet morning on Highway 50 turned dangerous when a driver fixing tire chains was seriously injured by a speeding vehicle near Twin Bridges. According to the California Highway Patrol, a 54-year-old man had pulled his Nissan over to the shoulder on a curve east of Twin Bridges around 10 a.m. His wife and three children remained inside the vehicle as he worked on the left rear tire in the icy conditions. As he crouched near the tire, an 18-year-old driver in a Subaru lost control while traveling between 45 and 55 mph on the slushy road. The Subaru slid into the Nissan, pinning the man between the two vehicles before tossing him into the air. The Nissan was forced up against the guardrail from the impact. At the time, chain controls were in effect, and the posted speed limit in the area was 25 mph. Emergency responders arrived quickly, and the injured man was taken to the hospital with major injuries.

A heartbreaking car accident in Auberry, California, left a mother dead and her 7-year-old son stranded overnight, waiting by her side for nearly 12 hours before help arrived. The California Highway Patrol (CHP) reported that the mother and her son were driving home to Tollhouse after visiting a friend when tragedy struck. She lost control of her Subaru Crosstrek while navigating Highway 168 near Qualls Prather Road, sending the vehicle careening down a steep embankment. “The vehicle traveled off the embankment and rolled over multiple times,” said one first responder. Both the mother and child were thrown from the car. Tragically, she did not survive, leaving her young son alone in the darkness. For hours, the boy stayed by his mother’s side until he eventually made his way up to the highway, where he was spotted the next morning. Authorities had already been searching for the mother and child after concerned loved ones reported they hadn’t arrived home. A "be on the lookout" alert was issued, and just before noon, someone spotted the boy walking along the highway. “We got a call of a child walking on the four-lane section of the 168, and the people who found him walked down to where the crash had happened,” said CHP Officer John Marsh. Investigators later discovered that the Subaru had plunged nearly 200 feet down the embankment, landing in a grove of trees where it was completely hidden from view. Authorities believe neither the mother nor the child had been wearing a seatbelt at the time of the crash. However, the boy told first responders that he had remained in his car seat. He was taken to Valley Children’s Hospital with several injuries, including a broken arm. Despite the devastating loss of his mother, first responders say the 7-year-old has shown incredible strength and is in good spirits. He has since been reunited with his father. The crash remains under investigation as officials await toxicology results to determine if alcohol or drugs played a role.

A tragic crash in Roseville early Saturday morning has claimed the life of a 9-year-old girl and brought renewed attention to the dangers of drunk driving. The California Highway Patrol (CHP) reported that the crash occurred around 5:20 a.m. on eastbound Interstate 80. A 36-year-old woman from Sacramento, driving a Hyundai Elantra, lost control of her car, causing it to spin out and come to a stop in the fast lane. She exited the disabled vehicle and began walking along the shoulder of the freeway. While some drivers managed to avoid the stalled Hyundai, a Honda CR-V collided with it. The CR-V was driven by a 50-year-old man from Fremont, who had two young passengers. One of them, a 9-year-old girl, suffered severe injuries and was rushed to the hospital, where she later died. Officers found the Hyundai driver on the shoulder of the freeway and arrested her on suspicion of driving under the influence (DUI). Rhonda Campbell, the victim services manager for Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) in California, spoke about the growing issue of impaired driving. “We’re at a 16-year high for DUI crashes,” Campbell said. “Despite all the education and awareness efforts, people are still making the choice to drink and drive.” Campbell’s personal connection to the cause runs deep.

In a shocking series of events early Wednesday morning, a man was fatally struck by a truck on Highway 120 in Manteca after intentionally ramming his car into a police patrol vehicle, authorities reported. The situation began around 2:16 a.m. when a Manteca Police officer noticed a car weaving behind him on South Main Street near Highway 120. Thinking the driver might need help, the officer pulled over. The driver, a man in his 30s, also stopped and got out of his car. However, his erratic behavior raised red flags, prompting the officer to keep his distance and call for backup. Moments later, the man returned to his car, and the officer got back into his patrol vehicle. Without warning, the man accelerated and crashed into the rear of the patrol car with enough force to deploy its airbags and jam the driver’s door shut. Fortunately, the officer was unharmed but was later taken to the hospital as a precaution. "The driver immediately rammed the patrol car, causing major damage," explained Sgt. Steve Beermann of the Manteca Police Department. "All the airbags went off, and the officer was unable to get out of the car." As backup arrived, the man was found standing on the highway sign attached to the Main Street overpass. Officers attempted to communicate with him, but his speech was rapid and nonsensical. After a tense few minutes, the man jumped from the overpass into the westbound lanes of Highway 120, where he was struck by an oncoming pickup truck. The driver of the truck stopped immediately and cooperated with the investigation. Residents were left shaken by the incident. "The police officer's just out trying to do his job and protect us," said Manteca resident Anthony Liberato. "It's just very sad for everyone involved." The California Highway Patrol is investigating the tragic event. Authorities have urged anyone with information to contact the Manteca Police Department at 209-456-8101.

A devastating bus accident in Southern California has left at least eight to ten people dead and over three dozen injured. The incident occurred when a bus lost control while navigating a mountain road, collided with a car, flipped over, and crashed into a pickup truck.  According to California Highway Patrol spokesman Mario Lopez, the current death toll may rise as investigators begin the grim task of removing bodies from the wreckage. Some victims were ejected from the bus and covered with yellow blankets at the scene. Lopez indicated that speed may have played a significant role in the crash, though authorities are still looking into whether mechanical failure or driver error contributed to the tragedy. Remarkably, the bus driver survived the incident, and authorities are working to confirm the passenger list. The bus was operated by Scapadas Magicas LLC, a National City-based company that has a clean safety record over the past two years. The company did not respond to requests for comment. Jordi Garcia, a manager for InterBus Tours, which organized the trip, stated that the bus departed Tijuana at 5 a.m. for a skiing day at Big Bear. He mentioned that preliminary information suggested the bus’s brakes had failed prior to the crash. The accident took place around 6:30 p.m. on Route 38, a road that winds through the San Bernardino National Forest and leads to Big Bear. The bus, traveling south and leaving the forest, rear-ended a Saturn sedan before colliding with a Ford pickup. One person in the pickup sustained injuries, while details about those in the sedan remain unclear. Patients with injuries ranging from minor to life-threatening were transported to various hospitals. The scene was chaotic, with debris scattered across State Route 38, the bus overturned, and its front end severely damaged.

Sacramento's southbound Interstate 5 was a mess Friday morning after a series of incidents created major traffic disruptions. The trouble started just after 4 a.m. near the Sutterville Road offramp, when a semi-truck carrying hay overturned. The spill created a hay-covered freeway, making the scene look like a giant farmyard. Shortly after, a car just a few hundred yards away caught fire, adding to the chaos.  Luckily, no one was hurt in either incident, according to the California Highway Patrol. However, the freeway was heavily congested as all southbound lanes were closed at Sutterville Road. For a while, only the right shoulder was open for limited traffic, and drivers were advised to use Highway 99 as an alternate route. By 9:30 a.m., all lanes had been cleared, but residual traffic delays were expected throughout the morning.

Early Saturday morning , a 19-year-old lost their life in a devastating two-car accident in Fresno County. The California Highway Patrol (CHP) was called to the scene at 1:50 a.m. on Highway 180, west of Dickenson Avenue. According to CHP spokesman Mike Salas, the crash occurred when the 19-year-old, driving a Toyota Camry eastbound, suddenly veered into the westbound lanes. There, their car collided head-on with another Toyota driven by a 27-year-old man. The impact was severe, and the 19-year-old was pronounced dead at the scene.
