Santa Maria, California (June 6, 2020) – Oscar Campos, 30, of Santa Maria, has been identified as one of the two victims who were killed in a three-vehicle accident on Friday evening west of Santa Maria, according to police.
The crash transpired on Highway 166 near Bonita School Road, at about 6:05 p.m., on June 5.
The CHP said a 2004 Nissan 350Z, driven by Miguel Preciadonava, 20, was traveling eastbound on Highway 166 at a high rate of speed and passing other vehicles on the right dirt shoulder of the highway when it lost control and spun across the highway near Bonita School Road.
Preciadonava’s Nissan collided head-on with a 2017 Nissan Altima, driven by Campos. As a result of the collision, the Altima flipped over and came to a rest on its roof, just off the westbound shoulder of West Black Road.
The CHP said the Nissan 350Z then continued eastbound into oncoming traffic where it finally collided with a 2007 Chevrolet Cabalt compact car, driven by Nabor Ortizlopez, 28, of Santa Maria.
Along with the paramedics, firefighters responded to the scene and extricated both cars’ occupants from the wreckage.
