3 killed in head-on crash in Folsom, including married couple from El Dorado County
Three people were killed in a head-on collision Tuesday afternoon in Folsom, near the dam and prison, police said.
A black Toyota Camry and a red Chrysler 300 collided on Folsom Lake Crossing near Gun Range Road and Folsom Dam Road around 3:45 p.m., Folsom Police Department spokesman Officer Andrew Graham said Wednesday morning.
The Toyota driver was a man in his early 30s from Roseville and the Chrysler driver was a man in his late 60s from the El Dorado County town of Rescue, Graham said. Both were pronounced dead at the scene.
A woman in her mid-70s, the wife of the Chrysler driver, was taken to a hospital where she succumbed to her injuries later Tuesday, Graham said.
The Sacramento County Coroner’s Office on Thursday identified the Toyota driver as 30-year-old Jacob Slaugh of Roseville. The other two victims’ identities have not been released.
There were no other occupants in the two vehicles, Graham said.
“At this time, we do not suspect drug or alcohol involvement,” he said. The cause of the collision remains under investigation.
Folsom Lake Crossing reopened after about a five-hour closure, Graham said.
