OAKHURST – A two vehicle accident on Deadwood this morning stopped traffic briefly as the wreck was cleared.
Just before 9 a.m. on Tuesday, Mar. 26, Peggy Badgwell, 71, of Oakhurst was southbound on Highway 41 in a 2011 Chevy Silverado, and had slowed to turn left onto Road 425B.
Josiah Stansbury, 23, of Coarsegold, was also southbound, driving a 2000 Chevy S-10, and took his eyes off the road for just a moment, according to CHP on the scene. By the time he saw the Silverado slowed in front of him, he was unable to stop in time to avoid striking the rear of Badgwell’s vehicle.
Stansbury suffered a broken toe in the accident, and Sierra Ambulance responded to the scene, but he declined to be transported for treatment.
Neither Badgwell nor her dog, who was with her in the vehicle, sustained injury.
CHP, Madera County Sheriff, CalFire and Doc’s Towing also responded to the accident.
