The California Highway Patrol said in a press briefing that paramedics conveyed two motorists to the hospital on Tuesday, July 28th, after a two-vehicle collision on the Silverado Trail northeast of Napa, California. They identified the survivors as Austen Wakin, 23, of American Canyon, and Krystyna Wulff, 71, of Napa.

The car accident report placed the time of the occurrence at 7:55 a.m. at Silverado’s intersection with Hardman Avenue. The CHP Napa station Spokesman Marc Renspurger said that they have not been able to put together what led to the crash, but admitted that the two drivers sustained severe to moderate injuries.

Wakin, who drove a 1995 Acura Legend, received treatment of significant wounds at the Queen of the Valley Medical Center. Wulff, the driver of a 2013 Toyota Highlander, suffered moderate injuries and received treatment at the same hospital.

The collision led to the closure of Silverado in both directions to clear the vehicles and carry out a preliminary investigation. The inquiry remains active.

Two-vehicle collisions are one of the common types of traffic accidents, and it occurs for several reasons. Wrong-way driving, veering off one’s lane of travel, running red lights or stop signs at intersections, and speeding are some causes of crashes. Drivers can mitigate the preceding by making safety a priority and obeying the road’s rules. Doing so would go a long way in saving their lives and preventing possible adverse legal consequences.
