Butte County authorities announced Monday that 28-year-old Victor Moncada Jr. of Channelview, Texas and 60-year-old John Sanchez of Stockton were the two men that died last Friday when their Dodge Ram flipped over the Mud Creek Bridge on Nord Highway just west of The Esplanade. A passerby reportedly discovered the wreckage and a body in the creek bed around 7:30 am. Officers arrived and found another body in the vehicle.
Autopsies for both victims are scheduled for this week.
