Meanwhile, 29-year-old Eduardo Carrillo of Orland traveled north in a Ford Escape on 5 Freeway. Stephens allegedly let his vehicle drove off the southbound lanes and hit oleanders in the center divided. The impact sent David Stephens’ vehicle to roll over and land on its roof in the northbound lanes, directly in the path of Carrillo. This action resulted in a crash.

Staying within the lanes of the road is an extremely important rule of the road.
