Pioneer, CA…A 33 year old Turlock man was driving a 2016 Freightliner and trailer westbound on Hwy 88, west of Hams Station. He lost control in a curve while driving at approximatelly 50mph. According to a witness, he drove into the eastbound lane before losing control onto the north shoulder. When the truck went off the roadway the trailer detached from the truck and overturned, spilling its non haxardous load. The truck continued into a dirt embankment causing moderate damage to the front of the truck.

The driver sustained moderate injuries as a result of the collision. He was also arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol and was taken to Sutter Amador for treatment of his injuries.

Hwy 88 was closed for less than 30 minutes. Caltrans and clean up crews spent multiple hours at the collision scene cleaning up the spilled load.
