Burson, CA – A head-on crash in the Burson area of Calaveras County resulted in serious injuries.
The collision occurred Tuesday evening at the intersection of Warren Road and South Burson Road north of Highway 26. When first responders, including the Calaveras Consolidated Fire (CCF), arrived on scene, they found two heavily damaged vehicles, as an SUV can be seen in the image box photo with its front smashed in on the driver’s side.
