ESCALON, CA (October 4, 2022) – At least one person died in a two-vehicle accident on Highway 120 in Escalon on Sunday morning, September 25.
 
The fatal accident happened around 6:45 a.m. east of Steinegul Road. According to the California Highway Patrol, a driver identified as 31-year-old Gregory Lyons of Escalon was driving a 2004 Mercedes-Benz westbound on Highway 120 at an undetermined speed.
 
The driver of the other vehicle – a 21-year-old man from Oakdale – was eastbound on Highway 120 in a 2022 Dodge, driving about 55 mph while towing a flatbed trailer.
 
As the vehicles approached each other, Lyons allowed his vehicle to drift onto the north asphalt shoulder. After that, he turned the vehicle back into the westbound lane.
