Head-on Collision on Hwy 4

Head-on collision occurred on one of
the tight curves on Hwy 4 above
Murphys.
    September 4, 2015 at 3:05 PM:  Hwy 4 just re-opened after a head on collision that occurred around 2 PM between an older white SUV and a red pickup.


   The white car ended up hitting the rock wall on Hwy 4 just above the Utica Powerhouse.  Three ambulances took people with major injuries to the hospital.

  Friday night traffic headed up to the mountains for the 3 day holiday was backed up to Angels Camp without moving for nearly an hour.

   CHP and tow trucks took a dangerous chance traveling up the wrong side of Hwy 4 to reach the collision as some were making u-turns and heading back down the hill.

There were people out of their cars talking to others on the highway. One almost caused another collision.

I saw one guy who was stopping cars coming down to ask what was going on. That almost caused an accident too. People just don't think.
