Dixon, CA (May 7, 2020) – Thursday afternoon, 79-year-old Floyd Merchant of Sacramento, was killed in an auto collision on I-80.
 
Officers first responded to the scene around 3:04 p.m., after receiving multiple 911 calls. According to reports, his 1997 white Toyota sedan bumped into the east side of Pitt School Road. Due to the impact of the collision, Merchant suffered life-threatening injuries before he was later pronounced.
 
CHP spokesman Officer Miguel Camarena says that Floyd’s wife was the driver of the vehicle. Anita Maria Jones-Merchant was said to be under the influence of either drugs or alcohol at the time.
