The CHP said 38-year-old Michael Messer was driving his truck eastbound on Ellist street just before 4 a.m.

A 20-year-old woman was headed westbound on her way to work.

"The male driver, again, was driving the wrong way and went head-on with the Chevy Malibu," CHP Madera Officer Javier Ruvalcaba.
