Double Fatality Wrong Way Crash
I’m Ed Smith, a Marysville-Yuba City auto accident attorney. One of the most catastrophic and deadly types of accidents I see in my office are those involving wrong way drivers. Sadly, two Yuba City men passed away in a wrong way crash over the weekend along Highway 99 in the vicinity of Elverta Road.
