A 19-year-old man lost his life and a 37-year-old woman was seriously injured in the accident. The accident occurred near Leiser Road in Robbins, which is located in Sutter County.
Initial reports indicated that the 19-year-old driver was headed north on Highway 113 when he ended up behind a slower vehicle.
