YUBA CITY, Calif. — A Yuba City woman is facing murder charges after a double fatal accident in June.
According to the Sutter County District Attorney’s Office, 68-year-old Vickie Lynn Hedden was leaving the scene of an accident she caused in Live Oak. She allegedly crossed the center line, side-swiped a tractor-trailer, and then collided head-on with another vehicle.
The crash left 21-year-old Allyson Nohelia Navarro-Salazar and her 1-year-old baby dead. The child’s father was injured but survived.
Hedden was taken to Sutter Roseville Hospital for her injuries and was released a week later. Law enforcement didn't know her location until Wednesday when she was arrested.
Hedden is accused of two counts of second-degree murder and she was booked into the Sutter County Jail. Her bail was set at $2 million.
Anyone who witnessed the accident can call the Sutter County District Attorney's Office at 530-822-7330.
