San Andreas, CA…A 23 year old Sheep Ranch man was driving his vehicle westbound on SR-12 west of SR-49 at approximately 50 MPH. Due to his level of intoxication, Trotter allowed his vehicle to drift off the right side of the roadway. Trotter over-corrected to the left, crossed into the eastbound lane, and lost control of his vehicle. Trotter’s vehicle subsequently exited the north side of the roadway and overturned down a steep embankment. Trotter was not wearing his safety belt and was partially ejected during the collision. Trotter was later arrested for Misdemeanor DUI at the scene. Due to the extent of his injuries, he was transported to Doctor’s Medical Center Modesto for treatment.
Alcohol was a significant factor in this collision.
