Weather to Blame for Morning Accidents on HWY 129

Wet weather and fog are to blame for a series of car accidents this morning on a dangerous stretch of highway.

The accidents happened along Highway 129 between Murphy Crossing and Rogge Road.

Three people were injured and sent to local hospitals after two separate accidents happened within 20 minutes of each other.

Both drivers lost control of their cars and swerved off the highway. One car hit a power pole and the other a tree.

The California Highway Patrol says that these accidents serve as a reminder for everyone to slow down.
