RED BLUFF, CA (January 8, 2019) – A 24-year-old Gerber man died Friday night after two vehicles collided on State Highway 99 West near Westover Road.
 
The incident involved two vehicles and not only left a person dead, but four others hospitalized.
 
According to the California Highway Patrol release,19-year-old Sandra Macedo was driving a 2005 Mazda 3 southbound on State Highway 99 West around 9 p.m. Also, in the Mazda were 24-year-old Julio Amador and a 1-year-old and 2-year-old child.
 
Meanwhile, 21-year-old Luis Garcia was traveling northbound on the highway in a 2017 Honda Accord.
