4 killed in head-on collision along 'notorious' highway stretch, police say alcohol may have been a factor
A family of seven was riding in an SUV that crashed head-on with another vehicle along Highway 12 in Rio Vista Wednesday night, killing four people. Police say not only is the stretch of highway notorious for wrecks, but that alcohol may have been a factor.
Authorities have said that open alcoholic beverages were scattered near the Honda, but have not yet determined if drunk driving contributed to the fatal collision.
The Honda's driver was traveling westbound on Highway 12 and veered off the roadway to the right before over-compensating and swerving across the center line into the oncoming Chevy Suburban, officials have said.
