A 62-year-old Woodland man was killed in a big rig accident near West Sacramento and Woodland. On early Monday Morning, at about 6:40am, a Pontiac Grand Prix was driving westbound on Highway 16, just south of County Road 93. For unknown reasons, the Grand Prix drifted out of its lane and side-swiped a big rig travelling eastbound. The big rig was hauling two trailers.
The impact caused the big rig to lose control. As the driver of the big rig tried to regain control of the truck, it was hit by a Honda Accord. After that, the big rig swerved into the westbound lane of oncoming traffic, colliding with Ford F-150. The 62 year old driver of the F-150 died on impact. According to the CHP, the big rig and the F-150 were then propelled left off the north side of the road.
