The California Highway Patrol has identified the three victims of a tragic wrong-way, multi-vehicle accident that occurred on Sunday night on Highway 46.
The victims, who were all residents of towns within the San Joaquin Valley, were 24-year-old Rosalinda Bucio from Cutler, 27-year-old Francisco Polinasainz from Reedley, and 32-year-old Yvette Guzman from Sanger.
The collision happened shortly before 10:30 p.m. near Shandon. According to the CHP’s Monday announcement, the crash was triggered when 30-year-old Saundra Foutz from Paso Robles drove her 2021 Mercedes westbound in the eastbound lanes of the highway. She collided head-on with a 2022 Honda.
A second eastbound vehicle, a 2015 Honda, was caught up in the aftermath of the initial crash. The driver and two passengers in the first Honda suffered fatal injuries and were later transported to the county Coroner’s Office.
Saundra Foutz, along with 28-year-old Carlos Quinonez from Orange Cove, who was a passenger in the first Honda, were critically injured and rushed to hospitals for emergency care.
Foutz was driving the wrong way, while Quinonez was among those in the initial collision.
The third vehicle, driven by 38-year-old Jess Lopez from Bakersfield, sustained only minor injuries and did not require hospitalization.
The CHP continues to investigate the circumstances leading to this devastating crash.
