Tuolumne County, CA — A man was transported to Memorial Hospital in Modesto following a crash yesterday on O’Byrnes Ferry Road.
It happened at 4:35pm. 23-year-old Luis Ramirez turned his pickup towards Peoria Flat Road, but lost control due to the wet conditions. The truck went down a 20-30 ft. embankment, rolling over several times. The CHP reports that Ramirez was not wearing a seatbelt and did not have a driver’s license. He was extricated from the vehicle and transported away by ambulance. He reportedly had moderate to severe injuries.
