Head-on Collision in Copperopolis

   According to CHP on June 14, 2015 at approximately 1:56 PM Sandra Hoffman (59) of Angels Camp was driving a 2014 Chevy Equinox northbound on Obyrnes Ferry Road in Copperopolis at 55 MPH.

   Anna Malek (69) of Copperopolis was driving a 1998 Ford Explorer southbound on Obyrnes Ferry Road at 55 MPH.

   For unknown reasons, Ms. Hoffman drove across the painted double yellow lines and collided head-on with the Ford Explorer.

   Both vehicles traveled down a dirt embankment on the west side of the roadway and the Ford rolled over, landing on its left side.

    Both drivers sustained minor injuries and Ms. Malek was transported by ground ambulance to Mark Twain Medical Center.  Ms. Hoffman sought her own aid.

   Alcohol is not a factor in this collision and this collision is still under investigation.
