3-Car Wreck on Hwy 88 at Jackson Valley Road

A multi-car accident at the intersection of Highway 88 and Jackson Valley Road sent three people to the hospital Wednesday morning. According to a California Highway Patrol report, Logan Talli, 24 of Ione, was westbound on Hwy 88 when he turned onto Jackson Valley Rd directly in front of an eastbound car on Hwy 88 driven by William Fansler, 74, of Tracy. The resulting collision pushed Talli’s car into a third car waiting at the stop sign on Jackson Valley Rd, driven by Harry Watson, 65 of Ione. Fansler and his two passengers, 72 year old Mildred Fansler and 50 year-old Steve Fansler, suffered moderate to major injuries and were taken to area medical centers. Steve Fansler was not wearing his seatbelt, and according the CHP report, sustained major injuries as a result. Talli and Watson were not injured in the wreck.
