Sunday morning accident south of Woodland claims resident - Daily Democrat
A 63-year-old Woodland woman died at the scene of a car crash Sunday morning while two other people received minor or no injuries and a third was said to be in intensive care. The driver of the vehicle was identified as Sheri Lynn Reed, 63, by the Yolo County Coroner’s Office on Monday morning. The accident happened at 9:20 a. m. Sunday one mile east of Plainfield Elementary School at the intersection of county roads 98 and 25A, about two miles south of Woodland. Reed was driving a 2007 Ford Taurus westbound on County Road 25A, according to the California Highway Patrol. She had stopped at the posted stop sign at the intersection and was turning north onto CR98 into the path of Nelson H. Johansen, 84, of Woodland, who was driving his 2002 Ford F-250 4x4 north on CR98 at around 55 mph. Johansen couldn’t pull over in time and ran into the driver’s side of the Taurus. Passengers in the Taurus were identified as Parker Kurtz, 84, of Woodland, who was reported to be in intensive care and Gurveer Deol, 24, of Woodland, who declined transportation. At the scene, the roof of the Taurus had been removed, but it was unclear at the time whether firefighters used the Jaws of Life to peel away the roof and assist the passengers, or if the impact took it off.
