Woman Hurt In Crash

Woman hurt in crash. on Gila. Ridge road

BY CHRIS MCDANIEL @YS_CMCDANIEL

A Yuma woman was transported to the hospital Thursday morning after being injured during a head¬on collision in the 3800 block of Gila Ridge Road.

According to the Yuma County Sheriff's Office, at about 8 a.m., 31-year-old Vanessa Patricia Esquer was driving a white 1998 Honda Accord eastbound on Gila Ridge Road when she allegedly tried to pass two vehicles in a no passing zone.

During her attempt to overtake the vehicles in front of her, Esquer drove into the lane of oncoming traffic and slammed head-on into a 1990 Kenworth tractor trailer traveling westbound on Gila Ridge Road.

The Honda came to rest on the north shoulder of Gila Ridge Road, while the Kenworth came to rest in the westbound lane of Gila Ridge Road.

Esquer, who suffered serious injuries, was trans-ported to Yuma Regional Medical Center via a Yuma Fire Department ambulance.

The driver of the Ken-worth, 40-year-old Juan Ga¬briel Sanchez, was not injured during the collision.

Detectives do not currently believe that Esquer, who has been cited for passing in a no passing zone, was intoxicated by alcohol during the collision.

Definitely Toss: Too Common
Sorry, Lloyd, but car accidents aren't the very unusual events we're looking for. This one was monumentally stupid, though.

Definitely Toss: Lacks Excellence
As Candi said. And given how common this sort of thing is it's just not all that humorous either. Thanks just the same.
