On Christmas Day at 7:15 PM, James Carson, 70 of Altaville, was driving a 2004 Ford F-150 pickup westbound on Hwy 4, just west of Appaloosa Road
at about 40 mph.
Diane Fullaway, 57, of Angels Camp, was driving a 2005 Ford F-250 pickup eastbound on Hwy 4, just west of Appaloosa Road, approaching Carsons' location.
As Carson's vehicle crested a rise in the roadway, his vehicle started to fishtail. In an attemp to keep control of the vehicle, Carson turned to his left, but overcorrected.
This caused his vehicle to cross over the center of the roadway, according to CHP, directly into the path of of Fullaway.
The front of Carson's vehicle collided head-on with the front of Fullaway's vehicle. All occupants were wearing their seatbelts according to the report.
Carson was taken to Mark Twain St Joseph's Hospital with minor injuries. No injuries were indicated by Fullaway.
