CHP Investigates Three-Vehicle Crash on Highway 99 in Atwater
Atwater, CA (March 10, 2022) – Thursday morning, 42-year-old Alex Ramos of Modesto sustained injuries in a three-vehicle crash on Highway 99.
The three-vehicle crash in Atwater happened at around 7:50 a.m. on March 10 just north of the Atwater Boulevard off-ramp.
CHP said the collision involved two big rigs and a sedan. Reportedly, one of the big rigs was hauling sulfuric acid. Behind the big rig was a Mercedes sedan driven by Ramos.
The other big rig, a 2016 Freightliner hauling a flat trailer was traveling behind the Mercedes and ended up colliding with the rear of the sedan wedging the vehicle between the two big rigs.
As a result, Ramos was pinned in the vehicle for about 30 minutes. EMS flew him to Doctors Medical Center in Modesto with moderate injuries.
Neither drugs nor alcohol is believed to be a factor in the crash.
Further investigation is ongoing.
No one wants to get involved in a car crash, therefore following traffic laws is vital.
Vehicular accidents are caused by an unlimited number of reasons, but a driver’s failure to be fully aware is a primary one.
Always drive defensively. Be on the lookout for potential threats. Remember in doing so, you are keeping yourself and all those who surround you safe as well.
Above all, drive responsibly. However, if you see yourself unfit to drive, use a rideshare app instead.
