Wheatland, CA (January 13, 2023) – On Friday, a 32-year-old man from Olivehurst died, and a 55-year-old woman sustained severe injuries in a two-vehicle crash on State Route 65.

The fatal two-vehicle crash in Wheatland happened on January 13.

CHP said the man was driving northbound in a Honda on state Route 65 at an unknown speed. A 55-year-old woman was driving a Subaru southbound, near Oakley Lane, at about 60 mph in moderate rainfall. 

The Honda driver lost control of his vehicle as they drew close to one another. According to the CHP, his “unsafe speed and unsafe turning movement” caused him to end up in the southbound lane.

The Subaru struck his car, and he died at the scene. The woman was taken to the hospital with a broken femur and ribs.
