Jackson, CA — More details are coming to light regarding the death of a 75 year old Stockton man in the multi-vehicle accident on Hwy 88 in Amador County Sunday evening.

According to the Amador County Sheriff´s Department and the Stockton Record James William White has been identified as the deceased and the followup investigation is indicating he was not, as originally reported, the cause of the accident that involved a tour bus returning to San Francisco from the Jackson Rancheria Casino.
