Authorities have identified the Napa man who died Monday morning in a head-on collision on the Silverado Trail.
Luis Padilla Quezada, 57, was at the wheel of a Toyota sedan that crashed on Silverado in north Napa, according to Henry Wofford, spokesperson for the Napa County Coroner’s Office. Padilla Quezada was taken by ambulance to Providence Queen of the Valley Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.
The California Highway Patrol previously reported that the Toyota was headed south on Silverado when, for unknown reasons, it drifted into the path of a northbound Kenworth three-axle truck with a flatbed trailer.
Padilla Quezada’s 31-year-old passenger suffered moderate injuries in the wreck and was taken to the Queen, according to CHP. The truck driver was not injured.
