A Pacific Gas and Electric truck was involved in a
traffic collision this afternoon around three o’clock just east of Red Corral
Rd on Hwy 88 in the Pioneer area. According to witnesses on scene the
82 year old driver of a SUV wagon for an unknown reason drifted into on coming
traffic near Raven Rd on Hwy 88, crossing over the center line and striking a
PG&E line truck. After
scraping down the side of the line truck the driver of the SUV wagon also hit
the vehicle behind the line truck- a PG&E pickup truck. The driver of the SUV wagon was
transported to Sutter Amador Hospital. The cause of the accident is under
investigation by the California Highway Patrol.
