One person was killed and several others injured in a Saturday night crash on Escalon-Bellota Road in Escalon. Names of those involved were not available from the CHP. According to the Stockton CHP report, however, the incident occurred on Escalon-Bellota Road east of Mariposa Road just before 9:30 p.m. A 25-year-old man from Fremont was driving a 2007 Acura southbound on Escalon-Bellota approaching the intersection with Mariposa at an undetermined high rate of speed, said the CHP. A second vehicle, a 1993 Ford, was northbound on Escalon-Bellota Road in the right turn lane preparing to make a right turn to continue northbound on Escalon-Bellota. The Acura failed to negotiate a curve in the roadway and ran off the road, continued to travel in a southerly direction through a dirt median and re-entered the roadway.
