Accidents April 21

SONORA, CA – A recent crash injury involving a tired driver has prompted Sonora CHP to issue a safety reminder to the public. Driving while you’re tired can be incredibly risky. Fatigue dulls your reflexes and can lead to “microsleeps”—those brief, involuntary moments of sleep that may last just a split second or a few seconds. Even in that short time, you lose control of the vehicle, which can have serious consequences.

Thankfully, in this case, the driver came away with only minor injuries.

If you start to feel drowsy behind the wheel, it’s really important to pull over and take a break. No destination is worth putting yourself or others in danger.
