GALT, CA (MPG) - Early Aug. 14, around 6:25 a.m., Galt Police Department officers responded to the intersection of Carol Drive and Ayers Lane for a report of a two-vehicle traffic collision.

While officers were enroute, they were advised that at least one vehicle occupant had been ejected from a vehicle. This information was later confirmed to be inaccurate, and the driver climbed out of his vehicle.

Upon arrival, officers located a male subject lying on the ground next to an overturned Dodge pickup. The driver was breathing but not responsive.

He was transported to an area hospital by Cosumnes Fire Department where he received medical treatment for non-life-threatening injuries. The driver of the other vehicle involved, a Toyota Prius, was released from the scene without the need for further medical treatment.

During preliminary collision investigation, it was determined the Dodge pickup was traveling at a high rate of speed and failed to stop at the southbound stop sign at Carol Drive and Ayers Lane. The Toyota was already in the intersection as the driver was turning onto northbound State Route 99. The front driver side of the Dodge collided with the front passenger side of the Toyota, causing the Dodge to go airborne and flip onto its side.

Drugs and alcohol were determined not to be a factor as a result of the collision, police said.
