A driver was killed, and passengers were hospitalized following a DUI single-vehicle collision in Sutter County on early Monday morning, May 20, 2024.
According to the California Highway Patrol, the collision happened around 2:00 a.m. on Highway 99 south of Richland Road.
Authorities stated that a silver 2011 Acura RDX, driven by a 28-year-old man from Antioch, was traveling north on Highway 99. Witnesses told the authorities that the Acura was weaving heavily and was unable to maintain its lane.
As the vehicle approached the north of the intersection of Lincoln Road, the Acura entered the paved center divide and sharply turned to the right. The vehicle drove onto the right shoulder, made a sharp left turn, and overturned.
Police said that the driver was not wearing a seatbelt and was ejected through the windshield during the collision. A 28-year-old passenger and a 3-year-old girl were transported to the nearby hospital.
Drugs appear to be the factor in the collision.

Don’t Know What To Do After An Accident?
Your safety and rights depend on what you do next after an accident. Remember the following steps if you find yourself in one:
- Check yourself for any injuries.
- Stay on the scene, call 9-1-1, and wait for emergency responders.
- Move your vehicle to the road shoulder if safe; turn on hazard lights.
- Fully cooperate with law enforcement and stay until cleared to leave.
- Document the scene and injuries with photos and videos.
- Seek immediate medical attention.
- Contact your insurance company and find a personal injury lawyer for legal advice.
What A Lawyer Can Do For You
Many victims put off calling a lawyer even if they sustain injuries after an accident. However, lawyers can help you in many ways. They can provide you with police reports, CCTV footage, and witness statements to strengthen your case. Your attorney will also negotiate with insurance companies to get you fair compensation. The best part is that they will do all of these things for you at no upfront cost. So if you’re injured in an accident, hire a personal injury attorney to recover medical bills, car repair costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
