Head-On Collision on Foresthill Road Kills 3 People

Three Lives Lost in Head-On Crash Along Foresthill Road Near Auburn

Auburn, CA (April 17, 2026) — On Thursday afternoon, a devastating head-on collision on Foresthill Road claimed the lives of three people, leaving families mourning a sudden and tragic loss.

The crash happened along Foresthill Road, east of Lake Clementine Road. Authorities said a black SUV and a white sedan collided head-on, resulting in fatal injuries for both drivers—a man behind the wheel of the SUV and a woman driving the sedan.

A third victim, a woman who had been riding as a passenger in the SUV, suffered critical injuries. Emergency crews airlifted her to a nearby hospital, where she later died.

Investigators do not believe drugs or alcohol played a role in the crash. Officials continue to examine the circumstances leading up to the collision.

The roadway was temporarily closed in both directions as crews responded and cleared the scene before reopening later that day.

The identities of the victims have not yet been released as authorities work to notify their families.

Sweet Lawyers extends its deepest condolences to the families and loved ones of the victims. The pain of losing someone so suddenly is immeasurable, and we hope they find comfort and strength during this incredibly difficult time.
