NORTHERN CALIFORNIA – A Saturday afternoon rollover near Colusa killed four people.
The California Highway Patrol said the single-vehicle crash occurred at 3:10 p.m on Highway 20 just east of the city of Colusa.
The CHP said the crash killed four Yuba City residents – the 50-year-old male driver and another 50-year-old man riding as a passenger, and two female passengers, ages 40 and 50.
A fifth person, 65-year-old Suman Bala, also of Yuba City, survived the wreck with minor injures. The CHP said she was transported to Colusa Regional Medical Center for treatment.
The driver was traveling eastbound on Highway 20 east of Niagara Avenue at an unknown speed when, for an unknown reason, the vehicle ran off the roadway to the right, the CHP reported.
The Honda went down an embankment and overturned in a canal, according to the CHP.
The CHP said the driver and three passengers were pronounced dead at the scene.
Reports from the scene indicated the highway was closed for more than two hours – with a detour in place – while officials worked to recover the bodies and the vehicle.
