Vehicle Crash on Patterson Road Left Two Fatalities

OAKDALE, CA (March 15, 2022) – A vehicle collision on Bentley Road claimed the lives of Ruth Rancano and Kellie Content Saturday afternoon.

According to the California Highway Patrol, the crash occurred around 2:25 p.m. at Patterson and Bentley Roads.
