[12-06-2024] – Woman Killed, Three Injured in Disastrous Head-On Collision Near Kettleman City

Kettleman City, CA – On Wednesday morning, a tragic traffic accident occurred on Utica Avenue, resulting in the death of a woman and injuries to three others. The California Highway Patrol (CHP) reports that this fatal collision took place around 7:30 a.m. near Interstate 5.

Details indicate that the head-on crash involved a Chevrolet Malibu, driven by a man with two passengers—a man and a woman. While traveling eastbound, the Malibu suddenly veered into the westbound lane, directly colliding with a Jeep Compass that was being driven by another woman. Sadly, the female passenger in the front seat of the Malibu did not survive the incident, having passed away at the scene. The driver of the Malibu, as well as the rear passenger and the Jeep Compass driver, sustained moderate injuries and were subsequently taken to a medical facility for treatment.

CHP officials mentioned that thick fog in the area significantly reduced visibility, which may have played a role in the accident.
