(Yuba-Sutter, CA) – Follow up to the 2 fatal, pre-dawn collisions we reported on yesterday morning.

The first occurred at around 2:30 when a 32-year-old Yuba City man, identified by The Appeal-Democrat as Sukhvir Singh Hundal – citing the Sutter County Sheriff’s office – collided with a tree while headed south on Garden Highway, just south of Barry Road. However, the collision was not called in until over an hour after it occurred, when it was discovered by a family member who went looking for Hundal when he did not return.

Then, at 3:40 yesterday morning, 19-year-old Miguel Lopez of Browns Valley collided with a 26-year-old Oakland man, head-on, on Marysville Road just north of Everglade Trail, “near the center line of the road” according to the CHP collision report.

Lopez was taken to the hospital with major injuries, while the Oakland man, identified by The Appeal-Democrat as Morall Griffin – citing the Yuba County Sheriff’s office – was killed.
