OROVILLE, CA (September 12, 2024) – Wednesday morning, a brutal 2-vehicle crash on Highway 99 near Gridley killed 1 person.

The incident occurred at about 6:13 a.m. on Highway 99 near Gridley.

Here’s a rewritten version of the passage:

According to the CHP, a silver Honda Civic with three occupants was traveling north on Highway 99 toward Biggs. At the same time, a silver GMC Sierra pickup was heading east on Curley Lane and attempting to merge onto Highway 99.

The driver of the GMC reportedly did not see the oncoming Civic, which had its headlights off and pulled directly into its path.
