Minor Injuries Reported in Head-On Collision on Gas Point Road

The crash occurred around 7:30 a.m. on May 29th near the 20400 block of Gas Point Road. Officials say a white sedan swerved into oncoming traffic and collided head-on with a silver GMC Yukon. Both vehicles were blocking the roadway, prompting authorities to temporarily close down both lanes.

Emergency crews responded quickly, and both drivers were found out of their vehicles. CHP confirmed the incident involved minor injuries, and one lane was later opened with one-way traffic control in place until tow services arrived.

Premier Towing and J&L Anderson were called to the scene to assist with vehicle removal. PG&E was also notified after one of the vehicles struck a utility pole, though no damage was reported.
