Georgetown, CA – On the morning of Tuesday, August 19, 2025, a single-vehicle crash on State Route 193 near Cedar Drive killed one person, according to CHP Fatal.

The California Highway Patrol (CHP) reports that the accident took place around 10:24 AM on State Route 193 near Cedar Drive.

CHP officers responded to the scene and found a white Ford pickup truck involved in the collision. Responders confirmed that the driver suffered fatal injuries at the site. 

Emergency personnel closed the roadway for approximately 15 to 20 minutes to remove the overturned truck, clear debris, and ensure the safety of other motorists.

Single-Vehicle Collisions

In some cases, investigations may reveal that even in a single-vehicle accident, nearby drivers or unsafe road features share some responsibility. California’s Comparative Negligence rule means that, even if those injured in accidents are found partially at fault, they may still be eligible to receive partial compensation for damages.
