CHP report of Head-on Collision on Pool Station Road

   On October 25, 2014 at around 3:30 PM Brittney M. Powell (25) of Linden was driving a 1991 Honda Civic northbound on Pool Station Road, south of Upper Andy Road at 40-45 MPH, approaching
Patrick S. Coolidge (63) of Lodi, who was driving a Mercedes Benz S500.

   Coolidge was driving southbound on Pool Station Road, south of Upper Andy Road at 40-45 MPH, approaching Powell.

   The roadway was wet from recent rainfall.  As the Honda entered a right curve in the roadway, Powell failed to slow her Honda to a safe speed for the wet roadway.

    As a result, the Honda traveled into the opposing southbound lane of Pool Station Road, directly into the Mercedes path of travel.

   Coolidge  had no opportunity to safely avoid a collision with the Honda and the left fromt of the Honda struck the front of the Mercedes.

   Powell was taken to Mark Twain Hospital with Minor Injuries.  Coolidge declined medical aid.
