According to CHP, on May 25, 2018 around 1:30 AM Neil Macdiarmid (22) of Sutter Creek, was driving a 2003 Saturn on Hwy 26 near Higdon Road in West Point at a high rate of speed.
As he came to a curve near Higdon Road he hit his brakes, locking up the wheels of the Saturn, and went straight off the south side of the roadway where he collided with a cedar tree, knocking it down.
Macdiarmid was not wearing a seatbelt and was partially ejected from the Saturn, causing major injuries.
A passenger Alina Lucero (19) of Jackson was also not wearing a seatbelt and suffered major injuries.
A second passenger Alana Palmero (19) of Ione was wearing a seatbelt and suffered moderate injuries. All were taken to Kaiser Hospital in South Sacramento by ground ambulance.
