MADERA COUNTY, CA (April 11, 2022) – Sunday morning, a man died in a wrong-way crash on Highway 99 and Avenue 18 1/2.
 
The crash occurred at about 12:30 a.m. on southbound Highway 99 north of Avenue 18 1/2.
 
According to reports, a wrong-way driver in a white GMC pickup headed north in the southbound lanes. Then, the pickup collided head-on with a gray SUV as it traveled south on Highway 99.
