Solano County, California – July 31, 2026 | Ayuda California News
A Solano County head-on collision killed three people Friday morning on State Route 113 near Hay Road.
The crash, involving two pickup trucks, occurred at approximately 6:35 a.m. in a rural area between Vacaville and Dixon. The California Highway Patrol continues to investigate the circumstances surrounding the collision.
What Happened on State Route 113?
According to preliminary reports, a red GMC pickup was allegedly passing several vehicles when it entered the opposing lane and collided head-on with a gray Ram pickup.
The GMC’s driver and passenger died at the scene. Emergency personnel also pronounced the Ram driver dead.
The reported facts include:
- The crash occurred north of Hay Road
- Two pickup trucks were involved
- The GMC was reportedly attempting to pass other vehicles
- The truck entered the opposing lane
- Three people died at the scene
- The victims’ identities were not immediately released
Authorities temporarily closed State Route 113 in both directions while investigators documented the scene and removed the vehicles.
What Is CHP Investigating?
CHP must review all available evidence before determining the final cause of the crash.
Investigators may examine:
- The speed of both trucks
- The distance available for passing
- Roadway visibility
- Skid marks
- Witness statements
- Possible distraction or impairment
- Electronic vehicle data
- Potential mechanical problems
Although preliminary reports mention a passing maneuver, authorities have not issued a final determination regarding liability.
California Passing Laws
California Vehicle Code Section 21751 provides that a driver should not enter an opposing lane to pass unless the road is clearly visible and there is enough distance to complete the maneuver safely.
Vehicle Code Section 22350 also requires motorists to travel at a reasonable and prudent speed for current traffic and roadway conditions.
A violation of these laws may become important evidence in a civil claim. However, responsibility must be based on the complete investigation rather than early news reports alone.
Rights of the Families
When a person dies because of another party’s possible negligence, certain relatives may pursue a wrongful death claim under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 377.60.
Compensation may include:
- Funeral and burial expenses
- Loss of financial support
- Loss of household services
- Loss of companionship and guidance
- Other damages allowed under California law
Because three people died, multiple insurance policies, estates, and claims may be involved.
