According to an official CHP report delivered to the Colusa County district attorney, the driver involved in a fatal Colusa County bus crash was exhausted and dozing off at the wheel.

The case is in review to determine whether criminal charges will be pressed against the driver. The driver could be charged with either a felony or a misdemeanor.

The crash occured on October 5th near the town of Williams, north of Sacramento. The casino-bound charter bus veered off a narrow rural road into a ditch. The crash killed ten people and injured 33, including the driver.

The report indicates that the crash was caused by extreme driver fatigue. Eyewitness accounts say that the company's owner, who died in the crash, grabbed the wheel in a futile effort to avoid crashing.

We here at the law offices of Moseley Collins send our deepest sympathies to the families who lost loved ones in the crash.

A Sacramento woman was killed by a suspected drunk driver, California Highway Patrol officials said Tuesday.

The 38-year-old mother of 5 had just left her apartment in the 9100 block of Madison Avenue when, around 7:15 pm, she was t-boned by the suspected drunk driver.

Authorities said that a white Ford F-350 pickup was heading eastbound on Madison when it veered off the road and into the victim’s vehicle. The truck hit the victim on the driver’s side, causing the vehicle to spin and come to rest in a grassy area.

CHP officials said that the driver of the F-350 lost control of his vehicle in the rain. He was later treated at a hospital for minor cuts and scrapes. Afterward, he was booked into the Sacramento County jail on felony charges of vehicular manslaughter and driving under the influence.

The victim was pronounced dead at the scene of the incident.

The mother of five leaves behind her husband and five sons, all between the ages of 4 to 11.

We here at the Law Offices of Moseley Collins express our deepest sympathies for the victim’s family.

The woman who struck and killed a 15-year-old cheerleader on Folsom-Auburn Boulevard in Granite Bay last June was recently found guilty of vehicular manslaughter.

The 15-year-old girl was a cheerleader from Granite Bay, CA, a suburb of Sacramento. On the day of the accident, she and several of her friends were walking from a fast food restaurant when she remembered that she had left her phone at the restaurant. As she was crossing the street to return, she was struck by 52-year-old Anna Berset, who then fled the scene. Parker was found by her friend, lying on the side of the road.

According to Sacto 9-1-1, Berset called California Highway Patrol the night of the incident:

A California Highway Patrol officer had testified during Berset's preliminary hearing that Berset called June 14 to report she had hit something on Auburn Folsom Road the previous night, but that it might have been a trash can or deer or perhaps a rock thrown at her by kids.

Berset was found guilty of hit and run driving causing death and vehicular manslaughter without gross negligence. Incidentally, Berset’s son spent four years in prison for a fatal hit and run car accident on the same road in 1999.
