On November 29, 2022, at approximately 1356 hours, Guadalupe Ventura Perez was driving a 2019 Nissan Armada westbound on SR-70 east of Camp Layman Road, at approximately 55 MPH. Charles Dunn was driving a 2005 Nissan Sentra westbound on SR-70 directly behind the Armada, at approximately 55 MPH. A group of deer were in the roadway ahead of the vehicles, and Perez slowed the Armada and eventually came to a stop to avoid hitting the deer. Dunn did not see the Armada come to a stop ahead of him in the westbound lane and could not slow or stop in time. As a result, the front of Dunn’s Sentra collided with the rear of Perez’s Armada, within the westbound lane of SR-70. After the crash, both vehicles were driven to the north shoulder of SR-70 where they came to a stop. Perez and Dunn did not claim any injuries at the scene, however, Dunn’s right front passenger, Debra Lee Dunn, sustained fatal injuries as a result of the crash and was pronounced deceased at the scene. This crash remains under investigation by the Quincy Area California Highway Patrol.
The mission of the California Highway Patrol is to provide the highest level of Safety, Service, and Security.
