Jamestown, CA — CHP Officer Tom Wills has identified 25 year old Andres Garcia of Jamestown as the driver of the 1987 Ford Ranger pickup truck that was involved in a single vehicle accident west of Green Springs Rd. on Hwy 108 early Monday afternoon.

Garcia was westbound when he, for an unknown reason, lost control of his vehicle which hit a curb and overturned landing in the median. Garcia was not wearing a seat belt and was subsequently ejected suffering abrasions and possibly a broken arm. Garcia was flown to Memorial Hospital in Modesto.
