Tuolumne County, CA—A fatal rollover crash on New Priest Grade/Highway 120 on Thursday took the life of a Lodi man whose body was not discovered until the next day.
The wreck occurred around 4:14 p.m. between Grizzly and East River roads. According to CHP spokesperson Steve Machado, the 43-year-old man was westbound on the highway and moving at a high rate of speed in a 2014 GMC Sierra truck.
“As the vehicle approached a right curve in the roadway, the driver allowed his vehicle to leave the roadway and travel off the south roadway edge of the highway,” explained Machado. “As a result, the vehicle became airborne, coming to rest nearly 400 feet down a steep, brush-covered embankment after overturning multiple times.”…
