Crash south of Yuba City leaves 1 dead, CHP says
An investigation is underway on a rural but well-traveled road in Sutter County after a deadly crash Tuesday.
The crash happened near South George Washington Boulevard and Obanion Road, south of South Yuba City.
California Highway Patrol investigators say a witness saw a Toyota run the stop sign on Obanion Road at South George Washington Boulevard. The smaller vehicle was then struck by a semi-truck hauling double dump trailers.
Officers say the driver of the Toyota, a 31-year-old woman from Sacramento, was killed on impact. A person who was riding in the front passenger seat of the Toyota, a 30-year-old woman from Sacramento, suffered major injuries.
Their names have not been released.
CHP says the force from the semi-truck pushed the Toyota into an orchard on the southeast corner of the intersection. No other injuries were reported.
Roads were closed in the area for around two hours, CHP says.
