Major injuries in Hwy 49 Accident

   On May 6, 2014 at 8:03 AM CHP responded to a report of an accident at Hwy 49 south of Jackass Hill Rd in Sonora.

    According to their report, this collision occurred while Joseph Ryan Azevedo (21) of Angels Camp was driving a 2001 Volkswagen Cabrio southbound on Hwy 49, south of Jackass Hill Rd at an estimated speed of 45 MPH.

   Hwy 49 in this location, according to CHP, was wet due to a recent downpour. As Azevedo's vehicle rounded a left hand curve in the roadway, marked as a cautionary 25 MPH curve, Azevedo lost control of the Volkswagen.

   Azevedo allowed the Volkswagen to travel off the west road edge, where the Volkswagen collided with a large tree and barbed wire fence.

   As a result of this accident, Azevedo suffered major head trauma.
