Major injury collision in Valley Springs

   According to CHP, on September 14, 2019 Brandon Sewell (28) of Valley Springs was driving a
2006 Infiniti QX on Hwy 26 near Gold Creek Drive in Valley Springs at an unknown speed.

   For reasons still under investigation, Sewell allowed his vehicle to leave the roadway on the south shoulder of Hwy 26.

   An unsafe turn from the highway caused the vehicle to spin out of control before overturning into a dirt field off Hwy 26.

   As the vehicle overturned both he and his passenger were ejected from inside the vehicle.  The vehicle came to rest on its wheels within a dirt field south of the roadway.

  Both Sewell and passenger Richard Breakfield (30) of Manteca were transported to Modesto hospitals with major injuries.  Sewell was arrested at the scene for DUI and then released for medical treatment.
