An Alameda woman and her 10-year-old daughter have been identified as among the three victims of a fatal traffic accident last Saturday afternoon in Tuolumne County.
Rachel Shahinian, 50, and her daughter, Annika Zinsley, a student at Otis Elementary School, were traveling east on State Route 120 about 4:05 p.m. when their 2007 Toyota Rav 4 was struck head-on by a 1997 Honda CRV traveling westbound.
Modesto resident Shelia Weeks, 59, the driver of the Honda, also died in the collision near Tulloch Dam Road.
While the Honda came to a rest in the middle of the road after the collision, Shahinian's Toyota ended up on the right shoulder engulfed in flames, causing a brush fire that burned about 120 acres, according to the California Highway Patrol.
It was not immediately known whether drugs or alcohol was a factor in the collision
