A woman was killed in a head-on crash with a semi-truck on Highway 108 in Stanislaus County early Friday morning.
The crash happened between Oakdale and Knights Ferry just after 6 a.m., according to the California Highway Patrol (CHP).
When first responders arrived on the scene, they found a red 2006 Volkswagen sedan with its front end crunched beneath the front end of the semi. The driver of the Volkswagen was pronounced dead at the scene.
That person has not been identified.
Investigators say the Volkswagen was heading westbound on Hwy. 108 and had just passed Lancaster Road toward a bend in the roadway. At the same time, the semi-truck driver was heading eastbound when for an unknown reason, investigators say the Volkswagen drifted into the oncoming lane and collided with the semi-truck.
The new driving test centre High Wycombe s new driving test centre will be opening its doors on May 5 - and tests can now be booked. After months of uncertainty over the future of driving tests in the town, which led to a successful campaign to save the provision, the new relocated centre will open up in Cressex Business Park for testing on May 5. Tests can now be booked at the new site as of April 30. The new test centre is at Unit 1, Cliveden Office Village, Lancaster Road, High Wycombe. In an update from the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA), they said: We’re contacting all candidates whose test was put on hold when the previous site closed, to offer them a new time and a date at the new site.
However, by the following Friday afternoon, April 23, still-unfolding discussions between Village Manager Herb Koehler and ODOT engineers seemed to have moved the needle in regard to at least some of council’s concerns.
For several months, Granville officials have raised safety concerns they have regarding the project, particularly involving lines-of-sight challenges and resulting collision potential.
To date, most shared fears have focused on the safety of turns onto Lancaster Road in the township or South Main in the Village – “left turns, specifically, coming north into Granville, because the line of sight is challenging without either a lighting option or something that improves the line-of-sight when you’re looking to the south, attempting to turn left,” as Koehler previously put it.

Early on Saturday afternoon, two lanes of the the M6 northbound from junction 31a at Preston/Longridge to junction 32 for the Broughton interchange were closed due to a crash. Police, fire and ambulance crews all attended and drivers were advised that they could experience delays of between 45 and 60 minutes. There was around eight miles of heavy congestion as a result of the incident but by 4.30pm, four hours after the original accident, all lanes had been re-opened.
