Three with major injuries in head-on crash in Madera, CHP says. One other also hurt
Four people were injured in a head-on collision on a rural road south of the city of Madera, California Highway Patrol said Monday.
Two cars carrying two people each were headed in opposite directions about 11:30 a.m. Sunday on Avenue 7 west of Road 25, CHP said in a news release.
A 28-year-old man, who was driving a 2014 Nissan Sentra going west, allowed the car to veer off the paved portion of the highway and over-corrected, turning left into the oncoming lane, CHP said.
The 33-year-old woman headed east in a 2019 Toyota Camry did not have time to avoid the collision, CHP said.
The cars collided head-on, pinning a 25-year-old woman in the Sentra. She was not restrained and suffered moderate injuries.
Both drivers and a 31-year-old man in the Toyota, who were wearing seatbelts, all suffered major injuries, CHP said. All four were taken to Community Regional Medical Center.
Neither alcohol nor drugs played a part in the crash, according to CHP.
