CBS News Sacramento

STANISLAUS COUNTY – A 60-year-old man has died after a head-on crash near Patterson on Tuesday, California Highway Patrol said.

The incident happened just after 6 p.m. near Las Palmas and Sycamore avenues, just outside of Patterson. Officers said two vehicles, a pickup truck and a sedan, were involved.

It appears that the driver of the pickup had stopped suddenly, leaving the sedan no time to try and avoid rear-ending the other vehicle. The crash then sent the pickup spinning off into the shoulder where the driver's side then crashed into a tree.

Officers said the pickup driver, a 60-year-old Patterson resident, was pronounced dead at the scene. His name has not been released yet by authorities.

The driver of the sedan, a 22-year-old Patterson woman, was not hurt.

CHP said neither drugs nor alcohol were factors in the crash.
