Willows, CA (October 13, 2023) – 6-year-old Eric Castro was among others who were injured in an Interstate 5 fatal collision Friday morning.

CHP officers stated that the driver, 31-year-old Eric Samayoa, was southbound on the freeway north of County Road 57 in a 2000 Chevy. He was traveling between 65-70 miles per hour when the vehicle swerved to the left into the median.

Afterward, Samayoa struck the brakes and took a sharp right turn when the vehicle rotated southwest across both southbound lanes. The Chevy then overturned and went through a fence on the west side of the highway.

The vehicle finally stopped upside down.

10-year-old Kimberly Castro and 6-year-old Eric Castro incurred major injuries. They were rushed to Enloe Medical Center and UC Davis Hospital.
