Woodland Man Critically Injured in Highway 113 Crash
A Woodland man was critically injured Sunday man in an accident on Highway 113 in Yolo County, the Daily Democrat reported. The accident occurred north of County Road 25A, just before 3 p.m. The victim, Roberto Santana, 50, was a passenger in a 2004 Toyota travelling southbound in the fast lane when a 2003 Honda plowed through the median and struck the left side of the Toyota. The driver of the Toyota, Alfonso Gonzalez, 63, and passenger Maria Gonzalez, 62, suffered moderate injuries. Both were taken to UC Davis Medical Center where they were treated and released the next day. Roberto Santana remained hospitalized in critical condition. Neither the driver of the Honda, Enrique Rodriguez, 20, of Dixon, or his passenger, Carlos Rodriguez, 21, of Dixon, were injured.

The CHP is continuing to investigate the cause of the collision. Based on the limited information in news reports, it is unclear what caused Rodriguez to lose control of his car and send him skidding into the path of the Toyota driven by Gonzalez. The CHP will certainly look at all possible factors, including speed, distraction, possible driver impairment, vehicle malfunction, road conditions, and weather in making their determination of what happened and why.
