CORNING, CA (August 1, 2023) – Saturday afternoon, a two-vehicle crash on Interstate 5 left Randall Schriefer and four other people dead. 

The collision happened on July 29th, at around 12:45 p.m. along southbound Interstate 5, south of Liberal Avenue.

According to reports, a 2003 Infiniti veered into the oncoming lanes and collided with a 2016 Ram truck. Investigators said the occupants of the Infiniti, including the male driver, 42, a 47-year-old man, a 36-year-old woman, and an 8-year-old girl were not wearing seatbelts.
