Tragedy in Madera County
A tragic car accident occurred in Madera County, California, claiming the life of an 11-year-old girl. According to reports from the California Highway Patrol, the incident took place on Saturday just after 5:30 p.m. on Highway 41 at Jewels Vista Court.
The accident involved three vehicles: a GMC Yukon, a Chevy Silverado, and a Buick. Allegedly, a man driving the GMC Yukon lost control of the vehicle while traveling southbound on Highway 41 in the rain. In an attempt to regain control, the driver made an excessive correction, causing the vehicle to spin into the oncoming lane.
At that moment, a man driving northbound in a Chevy Silverado collided with the right side of the GMC. Additionally, a woman traveling southbound in a Buick couldn't avoid the collision and ended up crashing into the Silverado.
Tragically, an 11-year-old girl who was traveling in the GMC lost her life as a result of the accident. Two other individuals in the same vehicle sustained moderate injuries, while two others were seriously injured and were transported to a nearby hospital for treatment. Both the driver of the Silverado and a passenger in the Buick suffered minor injuries.
Highway 41 was closed due to the accident but has since reopened to traffic.
