Jamestown, CA– A two vehicle accident in Jamestown this morning caused major injuries.
According to the CHP, a family from Roseville in a mini van was heading towards Yosemite on northbound Highway 108 south of Bell Mooney Road, when the driver, 36-year-old Nages Radhakrishnan realized he had missed the Yosemite turnoff.
