Two people suffered major injuries in an auto collision this morning on Highway 108, just east of Stockton Road, the California Highway Patrol reported.

The injured were identified this morning as Ruby Rocha, 41, of Jamestown, and Courtney Cooper, 20, of Sonora.

According to a preliminary CHP report, Cooper, driving a westbound Mustang, drifted over the highway's double yellow lines and into the path of a Chevy Cavalier driven by Rocha, colliding head-on.

Two helicopters were called in to take the injured to area hospitals.

The accident was reported about 6:12 a.m.

No other vehicles or people were involved.

Both victims are in critical condition, said CHP Public Information Officer Mike Remmel.
