1 Killed, 1 Injured Two-Vehicle Collision near Oak Knoll Avenue

NAPA, CA (November 1, 2023) - Monday morning, Raul Ortiz was hurt and another man was killed in a semi-truck crash on Silverado Trail.

Emergency services were summoned to the scene at approximately 9:25 a.m. in the 5300 block of Silverado Trail, located to the north of Oak Knoll Avenue.

According to the California Highway Patrol (CHP), a 1995 Toyota sedan that was traveling south on Silverado inexplicably veered across the center line.

Consequently, the Toyota was involved in a head-on collision with a northbound three-axle 2014 Kenworth truck hauling a flatbed trailer.

Medical personnel who promptly arrived at the scene transported the driver of the Toyota to Providence Queen of the Valley Medical, where he unfortunately succumbed to his injuries. At this juncture, the police have only disclosed the identity of the deceased driver as a 57-year-old man from Napa.

Meanwhile, paramedics rushed his passenger, 31-year-old Raul Ortiz, to the same hospital for treatment of moderate injuries. 36-year-old Mauricio Caballero of Mendota who was driving the truck was unharmed from the collision.
