Two people were injured in a three-vehicle rollover crash on Highway 49 in the Tuttletown area of Tuolumne County on Wednesday morning, March 25, 2026.

According to the California Highway Patrol, the collision occurred around 7:35 a.m. south of Sapphire Ridge Road, blocking the roadway and causing significant traffic delays.

22-year-old Christian G. of Sacramento was driving a 2022 Ford F250 towing a trailer southbound when he attempted to make a left turn into the Lakeside Inn Gas station.

The collision caused the Toyota to overturn, and debris struck the 2015 Volvo sedan driven by 59-year-old Brinda D., which was behind Joseph.

Joseph and his passenger suffered minor injuries. Both were transported to the hospital for treatment. 

No other injuries were reported, and alcohol or drugs were not factors in the crash. The investigation is ongoing.

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.
