Two recent Berkeley High graduates died Tuesday in a crash on Highway 89, near Truckee, Calif. ... The victims, Ross Schultz, 20, and Dixie Lewis, 19, were pronounced dead at the scene of the head-on collision, according the California Highway Patrol. The news was first reported by Berkeleyside.
Dixie Lewis was the daughter of bestselling author Michael Lewis and photographer Tabitha Soren. Schultz was a soccer player and member of Berkeley High's NCS Championship soccer team, and was attending Cal Poly Pomona.
The students’ vehicle was traveling northbound on State Route 89, CHP told SFGATE in a statement. Their vehicle collided with that of a 45-year-old from Fernley, Nev., traveling southbound. No alcohol or drug use is suspected.
"The Berkeley students’ vehicle entered the southbound lane of State Route 89 and struck the other vehicle head on," CHP said. "The driver of the southbound vehicle suffered from minor injuries only.”
