Wrong Way Driver Causes Huge Crash On Highway 99

Today at about 4:15 p.m. a woman turned onto Highway 99 from the Whitmore overpass traveling south in the northbound lanes. She collided with oncoming traffic in a head-on collision. The Ceres Fire Department and the California Highway Patrol were called to the scene. When they arrived they found that there several injuries and several cars involved. The Ceres Fire department called out every available firefighter in town along with 5 ambulances to handle the wounded which included an infant who was transported to the hospital for observation. While the crews were working on this large crash a second crash occurred on the other side of the freeway most likely due to people wanting to look at the first crash. There were no injuries in the second accident. The California Highway Patrol is still investigating this collision but, it has already been confirmed that the woman who drove into oncoming traffic will not be charged with any crime.
