Calaveras County – Three Mountain Ranch residents were killed and two others were injured in a 2-vehicle crash on Mountain Ranch Road in Calaveras County Sunday. The San Andreas Unit of the California Highway Patrol said Kallie Montgomery, 22, was driving a 2002 Chevrolet east on Mountain Ranch Road, west of Michel Road, in a light rain when the vehicle began to hydroplane, allowing her car to spin out of control. CHP said “Montgomery’s car slid into the opposing lane of traffic, directly” into the path of a 2001 Toyota truck, driven by Shenandoah Roberts, 26, also of Mountain Ranch. The front of Roberts’ truck collided with the passenger side of the Chevy. CHP said “3 of the Chevrolet’s occupants subsequently succumbed to their injuries while at the scene.” Dead at the scene were Montgomery, and her passengers, Jeremy Peters, 34, and Skye Montgomery, 17, all of Mountain Ranch. Another of her passengers, Trenton Montgomery, 16, was taken to Mark Twain Hospital, then by helicopter ambulance to Doctor’s Hospital in Modesto, where he was in critical condition early Monday. Roberts was transported to Mark Twain Hospital and treated for injuries ranging from minor to moderate. CHP said Montgomery’s vehicle speed was undetermined at the time o a Monday afternoon report. Roberts was driving at approximately 40 miles per hour. Both vehicles sustained major damage. Story by Jim Reece This email address is being protected from spambots.
