Amador County – A woman was killed early Tuesday when the vehicle in which she was riding collided with a crane truck. California Highway Patrol’s Amador Unit reported that Christina Wise, 27, of Pine Grove suffered fatal injuries in a 3-vehicle collision, at about 7 a.m. Tuesday at the intersection of Ridge Road and Climax Road. Wise was a passenger in a 1998 Dodge Intrepid driven by Todd Castaldi, 40, of Pine Grove, when the collision occurred. CHP said the Intrepid was east bound on lower Ridge Road when Castaldi turned left onto upper Ridge Road, directly into the path of a 40,000-pound crane truck, a 2002 Sterling, which was travelling west on Climax Road, approaching Ridge Road. The crane truck, driven by Jeff Gregorius, 43, of Pine Grove, broadsided Castaldi’s Intrepid. Following the impact, Castaldi’s vehicle was sent out of control, then it clipped a three-quarter ton Chevy pickup truck, which was stopped at the stop sign on upper Ridge Road, heading west. CHP said Gregorius began to lose control of his crane truck. In order to avoid traveling into oncoming traffic, he yanked the wheel to the right and the crane truck overturned, landing on its left side, on Woodside Lane. Gregorius suffered left shoulder pain but was not transported to a hospital. Castaldi suffered right rib pain and was taken by helicopter ambulance to Sutter Roseville Hospital. The driver of the Chevy, John Stewart, 54, of Jackson, was not injured. Wise was taken to Sutter Amador Hospital and succumbed to injuries she suffered in the crash.
