The web of fate spun a queer coincidence in motor mishaps in the past 24 hours on Madera's highways, the California Highway Patrol reported today.
Yesterday at 8:30 p.m Chester Lee Webb, 52, of Chowchilla, driving east on Highway 152 one mile west of Ash Slough bridge, swerved to avoid a collision. His car overturned.
Today at 1:30 a m. another car overturned as it was being driven south on Highway 99 near Califa underpass. The driver told officers he swerved to avoid a collision.
His name was Oscar D. Webb, 20, of Romaland.
CHP reports there is no indication that the two men are related.
Oscar Webb was taken to Dearborn hospital with minor injuries. He is reported "doing all right." Chester Lee Webb was uninjured.

31. Fred Webb, August 16, 2013.
George's accident was in Chowchilla where Rd 13 crosses Highway 152. He apparently was pre-occupied or didn't look but he had crossed the road where the cars approach from the left and proceeded across the divided highway to where the cars were approaching from the right and pulled directly into the path of a car coming at highway speed. George was not wearing a seat belt, in fact, he bragged that he never did. He was thrown across the pickup he was driving and his head hit the bottom of the window on the right side of the pickup.
He was taken to Fresno to Fresno Community Regional Medical Center if I recall correctly. As you say, George never regained consciousness, however, my mother who spent every day with him, believed that he squeezed her hand one time in recognition. George lived for some time on life support. My sister, Verda, came from Fremont and spent most of the time with Mom taking her to Fresno every day to see George. On a few occasions, I took a few days off from my work in Watsonville to take Mom to Fresno. At times, my brother, Jack would take Mom down. After about a month when there was no visible activity of the brain waves, the decision was made to disconnect life support and only provide a cannula for oxygen. Pricking his feet elicited no response. The only reflex that could be obtained was if one moved his arm rapidly, there would be some resistance. Otherwise, one could move his arm slowly at will without any resistance. George continue on gasping for every breath for 2 more weeks. He had a strong heart. Once when I was visiting with Mom in the hospital, his fingertips began turning blue. The blueness slowly crept up his hands and arms to about the elbow. We thought that was the last. Then the blueness receded slowly and his fingers returned to their normal pink condition. Mom was determined to be with George when he died. On the last day, it seemed that death was imminent. My brother, Jack, was the one who took Mom to Fresno that day. About 5 pm, he insisted that they should go home. Mom wanted to stay because George seemed so low. They went home. I think Jack, who had been an EMT, knew he was dying and did not want to be there when it happened. By the time they arrived back in Chowchilla, there was a phone call from the hospital that George had expired. Mom always felt guilty that she was not there when he breathed his last. George's brain stem had been badly bruised in the crash.
The police report claimed that there was alcohol in George's blood. That was absolutely not true. George did not drink. He had left home after breakfast and was on his way to work. The blood test was taken after George had been in the hospital for several hours. IF there was any alcohol in his blood, it was administered after his arrival in the hospital.
George is buried in the Plainsburg Cemetery beside my mother, Mable Elizabeth Larson Webb McMillan. My dad is buried beside her also.
George had just received a letter requesting money to bury one of his children by his estranged wife. The daughter had never wanted to have contact with George for many years and George determined that since she did not want to see him in life, why should he be involved in her burial. He had written a letter to that effect and mailed it on the way to work that morning.
George was a tractor driver for Bright's Nursery near Planada, CA. He was crossing highway 152 on Rd. 13 when the accident occurred. To my knowledge, He was the only fatality in the accident.
