10 people hurt in Sutter County crash, DUI suspected
SUTTER COUNTY – A DUI suspect has been arrested after a crash on Highway 20 in Sutter County left 10 people hurt, including a twelve-year-old girl, Wednesday night.
California Highway Patrol says the crash happened just before 8:30 p.m. near Humphrey Road.
Two cars, one carrying an adult and five children and the other carrying four adults and an infant, were involved in the crash.
Exactly what led up to the crash is unclear, but the impact left several people trapped in their vehicles.
First responders eventually transported 10 people to the hospital with moderate to major injuries. One 12-year-old had to be airlifted to the UC Davis Medical Center with a broken femur, officers said.
Officers also found one of the drivers, 31-year-old Meridian resident Mariah Lindsey Lopez, was under the influence of alcohol. She has since been arrested for felony DUI causing injury, but she remains in the hospital for the major injuries she sustained in the crash.
