Valley Springs, CA…At about 0145 hours, Godwin was driving a 2005 GMC pickup northbound on Milton Road at an unknown speed. Just north of South Gulch Road, Godwin failed to negotiate a right curve in the roadway. Godwin’s vehicle traveled across the southbound lane and onto the west shoulder where he veered sharply to the right. As the pickup came back onto the roadway, it overturned several times and went off the east roadway edge before coming to rest on its roof. Godwin succumbed to his injuries at the scene.

This collision is still under investigation. It is unknown if drugs and/or alcohol were a factor in this collision.

Calaveras Coroner’s case #18-68.
