According to the California Highway Patrol Merced Communications Center (MCC), multiple people were injured in a two-vehicle collision on State Route 41 (SR-41) on Monday, May 16, 2022.

The crash occurred at approximately 5:50 p.m. on State Route 41 (SR-41), north of Road 406.

During CHP’s preliminary investigation, the following information was discovered: Guadalupe T., 52, of Fresno, was traveling southbound on SR-41 in a 2008 Honda Accord at an unknown speed.

At the same time, Gabriel J., 26, of Frankfurt, Germany, was approaching the Honda in a 2020 GMC Canyon northbound, north of Road 406, at approximately 55 mph.

Tijerina made an unsafe turn for an unknown reason, allowing the Honda to cross the double yellow lines into the northbound lane, colliding head-on with the GMC.

Both vehicles’ airbags deployed as a result of the collision.

After the initial collision, the Honda spun out and collided with the rock embankment east of SR-41.
