On Sunday a more serious accident occurred on Hwy. 88 with a motorcycle vs. vehicle accident. Officer Melissa Scobee’s report indicates that Todd Novello, 35 of San Jose was driving his 2005 Kawasaki west bound on Hwy. 88 east of San Joaquin county line at a high rate of speed. 49 year old Kimberly Johnson of Minden Nevada was driving her 1989 Van west bound on Hwy. 88 a few cars ahead of Novello. Novello began to pass a vehicle on the left side and attempted to move back into the westbound lane to avoid oncoming traffic.
