LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – A Sacramento man was seriously injured in a head-on wreck earlier this week on Highway 20.

Michael Ford Jr., 26, suffered major injuries in the Tuesday crash, which occurred at 4:50 p.m. on Highway 20 near Scotts Valley Road, according to the California Highway Patrol’s Clear Lake Area office.

The CHP said Ford was driving his 2013 Toyota Corolla westbound on Highway 20 approaching Scotts Valley Road as 38-year-old Alejandro Becerra-Camarillo of Lucerne was driving his 2007 GMC Sierra, while towing a utility trailer, eastbound on Highway 20 just past Scotts Valley Road.

Ford allowed his vehicle to cross over the solid double yellow lines, directly in front of Becerra-Camarillo's vehicle, the CHP said.

As a result, the CHP said the vehicles were involved in a head-on traffic collision, coming to rest blocking Highway 20. After the crash, both parties remained at the scene until emergency responders arrived.

The CHP said Ford was airlifted to Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital due to his injuries sustained. Becerra-Camarillo was not injured.

The circumstances of this collision are still under investigation. However, the CHP said that neither alcohol nor drugs were suspected to be factors in the wreck.
