Please remember that this story is unfolding. Information is being reported as we gather it. However, some of the information coming from witnesses and initial official reports could be wrong.

Highway 20 has no shortage of fools, from Fort Bragg all the way to at least Colusa. There are always desperate morons making reckless passes against oncoming traffic in the particular area of this crash. Maintain your vehicle and watch out!
