An accident on Highway 29, St. Helena, 50 miles to Oakland, California, on Monday, March 9th, left a man severely injured but alive. The authorities identified him as 34-year-old Luis Corro.

Corro was traveling in a 2015 Ford F-150, heading north on Highway 29 when he crashed at about 3:19 p.m. Authorities said that for reasons they have not uncovered, the Ford drifted into the center turning lane of the highway before going straight into the path of a 2011 Freightliner heading south.

The driver of the Freightliner on sighting Corro’s vehicle swerved to the right in an attempt to prevent a collision. But at what seemed to be the last moment, the Ford turned left and hit the driver side of the bigger vehicle.

The impact left Corro severely injured, and first responders took him to the Queen of the Valley Medical Center for treatment. The driver of the Freightliner went unscathed, but there was debris and fuel spillage on the roadway.

The two led to the closure of two lanes on the highway near Sulphur Springs Avenue. The roads were reopened after the oil spillage was cleared from the way, and authorities have concluded preliminary investigations.

The investigation into the primary cause of the accident is still ongoing, and the public will be updated as authorities uncover more information. Accidents are a regular occurrence on California roadways, and they occur in different forms.

They include vehicle-versus-pedestrian crashes, vehicle-on-vehicle crashes, and vehicle-versus-motorcycle. Another is vehicle-versus-tractor-trailers, and the severity of the injury suffered depends on the impact of the crash.
