A 73-year-old Yucaipa man was killed and another man injured in a head-on collision on Highway 38 in Yucaipa Tuesday night, March 31.
Charles Brammer was pronounced dead at the scene of the 7:16 p.m. accident at the 38 and Adriatic Way, according to a San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department news release. The highway was shut down for about eight hours in the aftermath of the collision.
Brammer was driving a 2002 Chevrolet Corvette eastbound on the 38 and Andrew Griffith, 71, of Big Bear City, was westbound on the highway in a 1996 Chevrolet Blazer, the release said, when Griffith’s vehicle swerved into the oncoming traffic lanes and collided with Brammer’s vehicle.
The reason for the vehicle swerving into oncoming traffic has yet to be determined, the release said, with the collision still under investigation.
Griffith was taken to an area hospital with unspecified pain.
