\"Police<\/p>\n

A 33-year-old Sacramento County man was killed in a two-car crash Saturday on Highway 50, according to the California Highway Patrol.<\/p>\n

Officers from the South Lake Tahoe office said that the man was driving a 2010 Honda Fit westbound on the highway near Sierra Ski Ranch Road. The driver then made an unsafe turn into the path of an eastbound 2024 Chevrolet Tahoe driven by a 41-year-old North Highlands motorist, causing a collision.<\/p>\n

The driver of the Honda, whose name was not released pending notification of family, \u201cwas pronounced dead at the scene by medical personnel,\u201d according to the CHP\u2019s report.<\/p>\n

The driver of the Tahoe was hospitalized with moderate injuries at Barton Memorial Hospital in South Lake Tahoe.<\/p>\n

Sgt. Brian Bell said there was no sign that either driver had been impaired and criminal charges were considered unlikely.<\/p>\n

Bell said his office had been busy during Memorial Day weekend, also making two DUI arrests, including one that caused serious injury.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can\u2019t stress enough to encourage the public to be extra cautious and be aware of their surroundings and report any dangerous driving to the highway patrol,\u201d Bell said.<\/p>\n
