**Fatal Paso Robles Highway 101 collision claims life of Brianna Mae Thomas – Obituary**
The California Highway Patrol has confirmed that Brianna Mae Thomas, a resident of Paso Robles, tragically lost her life in a crash involving a big rig at a well-known hazardous intersection on Highway 101 on Wednesday afternoon.
The accident occurred at approximately 12:15 p.m. on northbound Highway 101 near the Wellsona Truck Stop intersection, a site notorious for its history of fatal accidents, prompting plans for an underpass to improve safety.
According to a CHP report, Thomas was driving eastbound on Wellsona Road when she attempted to cross the intersection and continue onto northbound Highway 101. At the same moment, 44-year-old Justin Levi Adams of Pahrump, Nevada, was driving a big rig in the second lane of the highway. Thomas reportedly failed to yield to the truck’s right-of-way, leading to a collision.
The impact of the crash left Thomas’s vehicle resting in the left lane and partially in the center divider north of Wellsona Road. The big rig came to a stop on the east shoulder of the highway.
CHP officers reported that debris from the crash obstructed traffic lanes, and a diesel spill from the big rig was contained by 1:08 p.m. The cause of the crash is still under investigation, and it remains unclear whether drugs or alcohol were factors.
