Jamestown, CA...On May 28, 2023, at approximately 5:06 PM, a 40-year-old resident was driving a 2009 GMC Yukon traveling southbound on State Route 49/108 approaching the roundabout at People of the Mountain Road, at a high rate of speed. At this time, 43-year-old resident, Timothy Perez was driving a 2019 Nissan Rogue, traveling northbound on State Route 49/108 approaching the roundabout at People of the Mountain Road, at 25 MPH. the driver of the GMC made an unsafe turning movement to the right, and collided with a metal light pole. The GMC continued in a southerly direction and overturned multiple times through the traffic circle at the roundabout. As the GMC was overturning, the driver was fully ejected. Components of the GMC came off as it was overturning and struck the left side of Nissan.




The driver of the GMC was transported to Memorial Medical Center Modesto, where he succumbed to his injuries. His name is being withheld pending notification of next of kin. Perez was transported to Adventist Health Sonora to be treated for minor injuries. The California Highway Patrol Sonora Area is investigating this crash. Alcohol and/or drugs appear to be a factor in this crash.

The round about is and always will be a stupid idea. The road was just fine before and needs to go back to the way it was before more accidents like this happen!

    Nothing to do with it being a roundabout. As reported by other news sources, the driver was intoxicated. Roundabouts in other states save lives.

      People do not know how to drive in the roundabout, especially young people. When I came back to California from New Jersey, New Jersey was removing them and traffic lights were being installed at the locations. I groaned when I saw roundabouts being installed in California. People think they are miniature race tracks!

        Darwinism will win out with the roundabouts. If the Austin's can handle em, Tuolumne County will figure it out.

    Take the time to read the last sentence of the article. The accident had nothing to do with this being a roundabout. If anything, it kept a vert impaired driver from driving further. Condolences to the victim's loved ones.
