2 drivers killed in head-on crash near Stockton
SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY – Part of a road in San Joaquin County has been shut down due to a deadly crash early Wednesday morning.
The scene is on East Mariposa Road, near Santa Ana Way, southeast of Stockton.
California Highway Patrol says it appears a sedan crossed into the opposing lane of traffic and hit another vehicle. The sedan then continued out of control and then ultimately caught on fire.
Officers say both drivers were pronounced dead at the scene. No other occupants were in either car.
Investigators believe speed was possibly a factor due to the violent nature of the crash.
