According to the Willows Area Office of the California Highway Patrol, at about 4:08 a.m. on Thursday, Jan. 18, Ulises Castillo Mora, 36, of San Jacinto, was driving a FedEx big rig (a 2023 Freightliner) north on Interstate 5, north of County Road 60, at about 55 miles per hour in the slow lane.
The driver was unable to explain why he drifted to the right, off the freeway, through the perimeter fence, and into a muddy field. The Freightliner sustained moderate damage and became stuck in the mud.
The driver and his passenger, Jonathan Castillo Mora, 27, of Lake Elsinore, were both transported with minor injuries to Glenn Medical Center in Willows. The driver was wearing his seatbelts at the time of the accident, but it is unknown if the passenger was wearing his.
According to CHP Officer Barone, there were no other vehicles involved in the crash, and alcohol and/or drugs are not thought to have been factors in the accident.
