One dead, one arrested, in I-80 accident near Truckee
Monday, May 1, 2000 | 3:39 a.m.
The California Highway Patrol said believes Sunday's accident near Hirschdale occurred when the driver of one vehicle fell asleep.
Jason Crosby, 21, of Richmond, Calif., was driving a 2000 Oldsmobile Alero when the westbound car drifted off the roadway and struck a guardrail, according to the CHP in Truckee, Calif.
The car swerved back into traffic, collided with and then flipped on top of a pickup truck before coming to rest in the median.
A passenger in Crosby's car was ejected as the car was airborne. Howard Wilson III, 21, of Vallejo, Calif., was pronounced dead at the scene.
Two other passengers, Jason Langhornte, 21, and Juneau Hockett, 20, also of Vallejo, suffered minor injuries, as did Crosby, the patrol said.
The driver of the pickup and a 5-year-old passenger also escaped with minor injuries, authorities said.
Crosby was arrested on charges of vehicle manslaughter, reckless driving causing injury and driving with a suspended or revoked license.
