A Nevada City man died Tuesday night in a head-on crash on Highway 20 in the Penn Valley area. The collision occurred about 8:18 p.m. on Highway 20 near Pleasant Valley Road. California Highway Patrol spokesman Officer Greg Tassone said a 1995 Jeep Wrangler was eastbound on Highway 20 approaching a line of westbound vehicles, when the Jeep for unknown reasons drifted over the double yellow center lines. It sideswiped a 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle, causing the driver of the Jeep to lose control of the vehicle.
