Deadly Head-On Collision at Turner Island and Palazzo Road Wednesday
Dos Palos, CA (September 29, 2021) – Martina Lopez Valdez, a 50-year-old driver, died following a car crash that occurred in the area of Turner Island and Palazzo Road.
The Merced Sun-Star News reported Martina Valdez was driving a 2015 Chevrolet Spark heading south on Turner Island Road. Officials said the woman drove through the intersection at Palazzo Road at about the same time as a 2017 Challenger tractor.
According to the article published online, the tractor had a furrow chisel attached to it. Due to the width of the tractor, it apparently consumed the majority of both the northbound and southbound lanes of Turner Island Road.
Martina Valdez apparently failed to notice the truck because of darkness. As a result, the woman slammed head-on into the left side of the tractor’s furrow chisel.
