Christopher Wilson and Sandra Barros Involved in Merced County Crash

 
MERCED COUNTY, CA (August 30, 2019) – A 28-year-old motorcyclist suffered major injuries after colliding with a car at Griffith Road and American Avenue Tuesday night.
 
The authorities said reports about the crash came in at around 6:09 p.m. 28-year-old Christopher Wilson of Hilmar was operating a 2003 Suzuki motorcycle southbound on Griffith Avenue. After that, 28-year-old Sandra Barros of Atwater was driving a 2016 Lincoln sedan northbound. As a result, they both approached the intersection at American Avenue when their vehicles collided.
 
Barros reportedly failed to see Wilson and turned directly into the path of the motorcyclist. As a result, the force of the collision ejected Wilson from his bike. He sustained major head injuries, prompting officials to airlift him to a hospital.
 
The accident is under investigation. The officers do not suspect that drugs or alcohol were contributing factors.
 
Motorcyclists are at great risk so it is important you are aware of them on the road. As a result, always make sure it is safe to make a lane change. Scanning the streets, the next lane over, and using your mirrors can help you be more aware. Avoid accidents at all costs by driving defensively.
