A man was killed in his vehicle Wednesday night in Napa County, near the Solano County border, when the driver of another vehicle allegedly ran a red light and crashed into him, according to the California Highway Patrol.
In the crash reported at 11:13 p.m., a 66-year-old man from Sparta, Missouri, drove a 2004 Dodge Ram 2500 truck towing a 2004 RV trailer west on state Highway 12 approaching a red light at the intersection with state Highway 29 at approximately 75 mph, CHP officials said. Cesar Gomez Martinez, 38, of Vallejo, was driving a 2019 Volkswagen Golf south on Highway 29 approaching a green light at the intersection.
That impact caused the Volkswagen to veer in a southwesterly direction, where it crashed into a pole. The Dodge and trailer continued in a westerly direction as it began to jackknife into the eastbound lanes of Airport Boulevard, directly toward opposing traffic. The Dodge and trailer crashed into the GMC as it slowed for the red light at the intersection. Martinez was declared dead at the scene at approximately 11:30 p.m. by emergency personnel.
