WINTON, CA (June 23, 2020) — A DUI accident at Eucalyptus Avenue and Shaffer Road Sunday left four people injured.
 
According to California Highway Patrol Officer Eric Zuniga, officers responded after receiving reports of a two-car accident involving an overturned vehicle.
 
Crews arrived around 2:30 a.m. and found the driver of a Honda Civic who had been partially ejected through the front windshield of the car. Additionally, a right front female passenger of the Honda appeared to have been partially ejected out of the passenger door.
 
Another vehicle involved in the crash — a Dodge Durango — was located in the northeast corner of the intersection on its passenger side. According to authorities, its driver, whom authorities identified as Wendy Bojorquez Gutierrez, and Gutierrez’s right-front passenger, Nelson Heredia, exited their vehicle to safety.
