Solano Co., CA – Crash on Hwy 12 Leaves One Dead and Four Hurt

Solano County, CA (August 16, 2025) – A tragic crash occurred on Highway 12 in Solano County on Friday evening, August 15, when a 53-year-old driver reportedly lost control of his vehicle, causing a collision with another car. The California Highway Patrol (CHP) reported that the crash happened just after 5 p.m. near the intersection of Highway 12 and Highway 113.

According to CHP officers, the driver of a Toyota was traveling westbound on Highway 12 when he lost control of the vehicle, veering into the eastbound lanes. The Toyota came to a stop perpendicular to the road, where it was struck by a Nissan.

The driver of the Toyota tragically died at the scene from injuries sustained in the crash. The driver of the Nissan, along with three passengers, was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment. The condition of those involved in the Nissan has not been disclosed, but they were all wearing seat belts at the time of the collision.

While DUI is not suspected for the driver of the Nissan, investigators are working to determine whether alcohol or drugs played a role in the crash involving the Toyota driver. The identity of the deceased has not been released, and the crash remains under investigation.

Our thoughts are with the family and loved ones of the driver who lost his life, and we also hope for a swift recovery for those injured.

Highway Safety and the Dangers of Loss of Vehicle Control

Accidents like the one on Highway 12 highlight the dangers of losing control of a vehicle on high-speed roads. When a driver veers into oncoming traffic, the results can be catastrophic, not only for the individual involved but also for others sharing the road.

Drivers are encouraged to remain vigilant and maintain full control of their vehicles, especially when driving on highways or in areas where road conditions may change suddenly. Factors such as speed, distracted driving, and adverse weather conditions can all contribute to a loss of control. Regular vehicle maintenance, including tire checks and brake inspections, can also reduce the likelihood of an accident caused by mechanical failure.

For victims of such accidents, understanding the legal options for compensation is critical. In cases where a driver’s actions or negligence contributed to the crash, those injured may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
