William Finke, an 82-year-old passenger in a 2000 Crown Victoria, was seriously injured in a rollover collision in Dixon, California, on December 1, 2008. According to a news article in The Vacaville Reporter, the 12/1/08 rollover crash occurred on Highway 113 about a half mile south of Midway Road. The Ford’s driver, 80-year-old Beatrice Finke who was northbound on the highway, lost control of the 2000 Crown Victoria, crossed the southbound lane and rolled twice coming to rest in a dry canal.

William Finke was trapped in the vehicle for about 15 minutes until fire crews freed him from the wreckage. The driver, Betty Finke, was treated and released at an area hospital for minor injuries.

This was no doubt a close call for this elderly couple. I’m glad that they survived this horrific rollover accident and I wish them both the very best for a complete recovery.

My heart goes out to the family of Timothy Richard Dewhurst, who died in this tragic rollover accident. Please keep his family in your prayers.
