In a startling incident on Highway 70 in Sutter County, a suspected DUI driver has found themselves in a serious jam—literally and figuratively. The crash occurred at around 5 p.m. on Thursday evening, with details coming straight from California Highway Patrol investigators. Thankfully, it seems like no one else was involved in the crash, but this driver was not so lucky.
With major injuries sustained during the wreck, the driver had to be airlifted to UC Davis Medical Center for treatment. This incident serves as a stark reminder of the potential dangers of drinking and driving. While we often hear about these scenarios, it’s easy to forget that sometimes reality hits hard—right on Highway 70.
In the end, it’s a grim reminder that maybe the best plans for the weekend don’t involve getting behind the wheel after a few drinks. Just remember: it’s always better to be safe than sorry, especially when it comes to road safety.
