37-Year-Old Man Arrested after DUI Crash near Sierra-At-Tahoe Road
SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, CA (May 2, 2024) – Zachary Leconte was arrested Saturday afternoon, after a DUI accident on U.S. Highway 50.
The incident occurred at approximately 1:00 p.m., just west of Sierra-At-Tahoe Road on April 20th.
Reports indicate that Zachary M. Leconte, 37, lost control of his 2021 Dodge Van while navigating a curved road recklessly. This led to a collision with an eastbound 2015 Toyota Rav-4. The impact caused the Toyota to roll over, injuring its occupants.
The Dodge then collided head-on with a 2013 Honda CR-V in the eastbound lane, blocking traffic. The occupants of the Honda, two 19-year-old residents of San Jose, sustained severe injuries and were taken to Barton Memorial Hospital along with Leconte, who suffered minor injuries.
