A flatbed truck was heading east on Highway 88 at about 4:30 p.m. Wednesday when it stopped to make a left turn onto a private driveway. A PT Cruiser stopped behind the truck, and then a Jeep Cherokee traveling at about 50 miles an hour and rear-ended the PT Cruiser. None of the people involved in the accident suffered major injuries, he said. The driver of the pickup truck, a man in his late 50s, was uninjured.
According to witnesses, a 28-year-old man was driving recklessly and at a high rate of speed south on Highway 88 for several minutes, when he for some reason crossed into the northbound lane and struck a car driven by a 48-year-old woman head-on. A car driven by a 66-year-old man that was behind the woman also struck her. The 28-year-old man's car ended up off of the roadway and he was pronounced dead at the scene. The 48-year-old woman sustained major injuries and was taken to the hospital, while the 66-year-old man sustained only minor injuries.
