The incident occurred on a Wednesday afternoon at approximately 1:45 p.m. at the intersection of Summit Valley Road and Foley Road in Oak Hills, California. The crash involved multiple vehicles, beginning when a Toyota Tacoma made an unsafe left turn into the northbound lane. This maneuver led to a collision with a 2017 Honda Accord. The impact forced the Honda into the path of a FedEx box truck, causing the truck to overturn.
Following the initial collision, the Toyota continued its trajectory southward, where it collided with a GMC Sierra. This secondary impact caused the GMC to overturn multiple times before coming to rest in a field. In total, the incident involved four vehicles. The sequence of collisions resulted in significant disruption and necessitated immediate emergency response.
