SAN ANDREAS, CA (June 15, 2021) – Saturday morning, Dennis Conners sustained injuries and a woman was killed in a deadly head-on collision on Highway 49.
The tragic accident happened at about 7:15 a.m., on June 5. Officers arrived just south of O’ Connell Lane.
According to reports, Conners was driving a Dodge Ram northbound on Highway 49 when, for unknown reasons, he crossed over the double-yellow lines into the opposite lane. There, he collided head-on with a southbound gray 2020 Nissan Altima sedan.
The Dodge rolled over, and the Nissan veered onto the west shoulder of Highway 49 as a result of the collision. Officers identified the Nissan driver as a 50-year-old woman from Iowa.
In addition, the impact of the crash pushed the Nissan onto the westbound roadway shoulder and caused her vehicle to overturn.
