Grass Valley, California (January 2, 2021) – Raymond Poquette, 80, of Grass Valley, was arrested after a fatal head-on collision that happened on Thursday night in Grass Valley.

The California Highway Patrol said the collision was reported just after 11 p.m. December 31, on Highway 49 near Cerrito Road.
