Bobrow Spencer and 2 Others Hurt In Frightening Collision on SR 299 [Redding, CA]

Redding, CA (March 6, 2026) — On Wednesday afternoon, a serious two-vehicle collision on SR 299 left 53-year-old Bobrow Spencer, 18-year-old Yacoub Gage, and another person hurt.

Authorities say that the crash happened at the intersection of State Route 299 and Little Browns Creek Road at around 12:48 p.m.

Reports say that Gage was driving a maroon Toyota Prius from Little Browns Creek Road and entered the intersection. Investigators determined the vehicle failed to stop at a posted stop sign before crossing SR-299.

As the Prius entered the roadway, a westbound white Ford F-150 struck the vehicle broadside. The impact left Gage and a passenger trapped inside the car, requiring firefighters and emergency crews to extricate them from the wreckage.

Paramedics transported both occupants of the Prius to Mercy Medical Center in Redding with major injuries. The driver of the Ford, identified as Spencer, suffered suspected minor injuries but declined medical treatment at the scene.

First responders temporarily disrupted traffic in the area while assisting victims and investigating the crash. Authorities stated that alcohol or drugs do not appear to have played a role in the collision. The incident remains under investigation.
