An 18-year-old from North Highlands was killed, and several others were injured following a multi-vehicle crash on Highway 65 near McGowan Parkway in Olivehurst, Yuba County, on Wednesday afternoon, April 2, 2025.
According to the California Highway Patrol’s Yuba-Sutter division, the collision occurred shortly after 2:00 p.m. on the southbound side of the highway.
Investigations revealed that the 18-year-old was driving a Toyota Camry and attempting to pass a 22-year-old driving a Honda Accord.
The Honda reportedly made a left turn, causing the Toyota to lose control after a collision with the right rear of the Toyota. The Toyota spun counterclockwise, collided with the McGowan Parkway overcrossing embankment, and overturned multiple times.
Despite life-saving measures from bystanders who cut the driver’s seatbelt to remove him from the vehicle, the 18-year-old was pronounced dead at the scene.
The driver of the Honda was not injured. However, a passenger in the Honda sustained minor injuries and was transported to the hospital. Two passengers in the Toyota were also taken to the hospital with moderate to minor injuries.
The CHP confirmed that DUI was not a factor in the collision.
An investigation into the cause of the crash is ongoing.
Don’t Know What To Do After An Accident?
Your safety and rights depend on what you do next after an accident. Remember the following steps if you find yourself in one:
- Check yourself for any injuries.
- Stay on the scene, call 9-1-1, and wait for emergency responders.
- Move your vehicle to the road shoulder if safe; turn on hazard lights.
- Fully cooperate with law enforcement and stay until cleared to leave.
- Document the scene and injuries with photos and videos.
- Seek immediate medical attention.
- Contact your insurance company and find a personal injury lawyer for legal advice.
What A Lawyer Can Do For You
Many victims put off calling a lawyer even if they sustain injuries after an accident. However, lawyers can help you in many ways. They can provide you with police reports, CCTV footage, and witness statements to strengthen your case. Your attorney will also negotiate with insurance companies to get you fair compensation. The best part is that they will do all of these things for you at no upfront cost. So if you’re injured in an accident, hire a personal injury attorney to recover medical bills, car repair costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
