Two men succumbed to fatal injuries in two separate rollover crashes in Yuba and Sutter Counties.
The California Highway Patrol Yuba-Sutter reported two fatal single-occupant vehicle rollovers over the past weekend in Yuba and Sutter counties.
One incident occurred on Saturday, and the other took place on Sunday.
Tragically, a 46-year-old Folsom man lost his life on Saturday in Yuba County when he was thrown from his vehicle during a fatal rollover incident.
According to the report, the man was driving his silver 2011 Ford Fusion southbound on State Route 70 near Olivehurst, just past McGowan Parkway. Eventually, his vehicle veered off the road and descended a dirt embankment, rolling multiple times.
The driver, who was not wearing his seatbelt, was ejected from his Ford Fusion and suffered fatal injuries. His identity will remain undisclosed until family members have been informed.
Anyone with information regarding this crash is encouraged to contact the CHP Yuba-Sutter office at 530-645-6200.
Meanwhile, in a separate incident, officials found a white 1995 Chevrolet 1500 pickup truck on its roof in a canal halfway filled with water on a private road near Nicolaus.
38-year-old Armando Sanchez of Nicolaus drove the truck.
According to the report, Sanchez was the sole occupant of the truck, traveling eastbound on a private dirt road near 5780 Vernon Road on Sunday.
Moreover, the report indicates that Sanchez allowed his vehicle to veer off the road and into a canal on the southern edge of the roadway, causing the vehicle to flip over.
Unfortunately, Sanchez could not escape the submerged, overturned truck.
Additionally, official reports suggest that the crash happened after 3 p.m. on Sunday and was only discovered by Sanchez’s coworkers and family members.
Similar to the previous incident, Sanchez was not wearing his seatbelt at the time of the accident.
J&M Tip: Using seat belts significantly reduces the risk of being ejected from your vehicle in the event of a rollover. Remember, safe driving is a responsibility we share every time we get behind the wheel.

More About Car Accident Liability
Various circumstances of the car accident can pinpoint the liability of damages. In some instances, thorough investigations can reveal careless behavior. This can include the simple act of recklessly turning or cutting in front of another vehicle. In terms of determining who is at fault for an accident, this can be defined by common law. Any Sacramento or Los Angeles car accident lawyer recognizes that fault has four basic levels:
- Negligence
- Recklessness (wanton conduct)
- Intentional misconduct
- Strict liability
However, different state laws can have variations of applicable traffic laws. For example, in some states, multiple drivers can be liable for an accident. This is why thorough investigations are important after a car accident. Having a strong case showing the liability of the at-fault party can help guarantee your compensation. Likewise, a car crash attorney can also help you determine all your options, so you can fully recover from the accident. Learn more about car accident lawyers in California here.
