A driver was killed in a head-on crash in Tehama County last Thursday morning. 54-year-old Kirk Brown of Redding suffered major injuries in the crash. He was southbound on Highway 99 driving through Los Molinos at 8:55AM when a northbound Nissan Sentra crossed over the double yellow center line and the cars collided head-on. Rescue personnel had to extricate both drivers from the wreckage. Brown was transported to Saint Elizabeth Hospital in Red Bluff. The unidentified male driver of the Sentra was taken by helicopter to Enloe Hospital in Chico, where he was pronounced deceased. The CHP is still investigating the circumstances of the crash.
