CHOLAME, CA (June 5, 2023) – Tuesday night, Jesse Moore was killed and two others were hurt in a 2-car accident on Highway 46.

Authorities responded to the scene shortly before 7:15 p.m., at the “Y” intersection near Highway 41 on May 30th.

Per reports, Kayleigh Pearson was driving a Ford Explorer east with Emma Pearson in the passenger seat.

For reasons unknown, the Ford driver failed to yield to oncoming traffic and turned directly into the path of a westbound Toyota Rav4. Medics arrived and transported the Toyota driver, 31-year-old Moore of Gilroy, to Twin Cities Community Hospital where he later died.
