Drowsy Driver Crash on Highway 50 Leaves Passenger with Severed Arm

CHP says the driver fell asleep behind the wheel, reports ABC 10, and the resulting crash left his brother with a severe and possibly permanent injury.

In a social media post, CHP warned about drowsy driving, comparing it to drunk driving.

“Drowsy driving is dangerous,” CHP said on Facebook. “If you find yourself feeling sleepy, pull over to a safe place off the freeway and rest before continuing.”
