Friday afternoon a fatal collision occurred on Hwy 16 near Old Sacramento Rd. The car was apparently traveling east bound on Hwy 16 when for an unknown reason the driver left the roadway rolling over multiple times. The car then caught fire and started a wildland fire that was contained quickly due to the efforts of a local rancher and his water truck. Fire Crews from the Amador Fire Protection District Battalion 20 and CalFire arrived on scene to complete the containment and mop up the scene. The name of the victim has not yet been released by the California Highway Patrol.
