SAN ANDREAS, CA (May 30, 2022) – Ryan C. Moody died and Rodney L. Patrick suffered serious injuries in a fiery accident on Highway 49 in San Andreas late Saturday afternoon.
 
The accident happened around 5:12 p.m. on May 28 at Gold Strike Road. According to the CHP, Moody was driving a 2001 Ford Expedition southbound at a high rate of speed when he crossed into the opposite lane. He then lost control of the vehicle and collided head-on with a 2014 Ram 1500 traveling in the northbound lane.

The fire spread to the pickup truck and Patrick was trapped inside. Fast-acting witnesses who stopped pulled Patrick from the vehicle as flames engulfed its passenger compartment.
