OAKDALE -- The Stanislaus County Coroner’s office Monday identified the 24-year-old woman who died in an accident near Oakdale on Friday as Joy Mata of Sonora.
Mata died Thursday morning in a head-on collision at Orange Blossom and Horseshoe roads, the California Highway Patrol reported.
Mark Osterman, 40, of Riverbank suffered major injuries.
The CHP reported the collision at 6:36 a.m. at the intersection northeast of Oakdale.
Mata was driving north on Orange Blossom when her 1999 Honda veered into the southbound lanes of the road. Osterman was driving a Toyota Tacoma south on Orange Blossom and saw the Honda, the CHP said.
He moved his truck to the right shoulder but could not avoid the car. Osterman was wearing a seat belt; Mata was not, authorities said.
