DETALLES:
En diciembre 10, 2013, en alrededor 5:25 P.M., officers from the Oxnard Police Department and EMS personnel responded to intersection of Gonzales Road and Oxnard Boulevard in reference to an injury traffic collision involving white Plymouth Voyager van and a tan Honda Accord.
Preliminary investigation indicates that the Plymouth van, driven by Joe Cotton, was traveling westbound on Gonzales Road approaching Oxnard Boulevard when it rear ended the tan Honda Accord, driven by Monica Amezcua, as it was preparing to turn right onto Oxnard Boulevard. It is suspected that driver Cotton suffered a disabling medical condition just prior to the collision. Cotton was transported from the scene to Saint John’s Regional Medical Center where he later died.
Driver Amezcua was uninjured during the collision but two passengers in her vehicle suffered minor injuries. They were treated at the scene and released.
Alcohol or drugs do not appear to be a factor in this collision.
If anyone has information about this collision, please contact Traffic Officer Manuel Perez at 805-385-7600. La investigación está en curso.
