A major-injury crash involving a semi-truck and a box truck shut down State Route 20 for several hours east of State Route 16 in Colusa County on Wednesday morning, December 10, 2025.
According to the California Highway Patrol, the collision was reported around 6:40 a.m. after an SOS alert was transmitted from an Apple device.
The two trucks collided head-on, blocking both lanes of SR-20. One person sustained major injuries while another suffered minor injuries, authorities said.
Officials noted that one of the trucks was hauling approximately 15,000 pounds of lumber, requiring heavy wreckers to assist with removal. By 8 a.m., traffic was reduced to one-way control as crews continued clearing the scene.
The cause of the crash remains under investigation.
Don’t Know What To Do After An Accident?
Your safety and rights depend on what you do next after an accident. Remember the following steps if you find yourself in one:
- Check yourself for any injuries.
- Stay on the scene, call 9-1-1, and wait for emergency responders.
- Move your vehicle to the road shoulder if safe; turn on hazard lights.
- Fully cooperate with law enforcement and stay until cleared to leave.
- Document the scene and injuries with photos and videos.
- Seek immediate medical attention.
- Contact your insurance company and find a personal injury lawyer for legal advice.
What A Lawyer Can Do For You
Many victims put off calling a lawyer even if they sustain injuries after an accident. However, lawyers can help you in many ways. They can provide you with police reports, CCTV footage, and witness statements to strengthen your case. Your attorney will also negotiate with insurance companies to get you fair compensation. The best part is that they will do all of these things for you at no upfront cost. So if you’re injured in an accident, hire a personal injury attorney to recover medical bills, car repair costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
