According to CHP on December 2, 2014 at 4:18 PM a 79 year old Murphys resident was driving a 2001 Chevrolet 1500 eastbound on Hwy 4 east of Pool Station Road at an unknown speed with his passenger Dean A. Morgan (52) of Angels Camp.
David Osuna (37) of Modesto was driving his 2008 International westbound on Hwy 4 at 40-45 MPH.
The driver of the Chevrolet entered a posted 40 MPH advisory curve in the roadway, when due to the unsafe speed of the driver for the wet roadway the rear of the Chevrolet began to slide in a clockwise motion.

The Chevrolet continued to slide into the path of the International and the front of the International impacted the drivers door area of the Chevrolet.
The driver of the Chevrolet was administered CPR on scene however life-saving efforts were unsuccessful and the driver was pronounced deceased at the scene.
