Four-Vehicle Collision Claims Four Lives Near Modesto
On Tuesday afternoon, tragedy struck on McHenry Avenue just north of Modesto as four lives were lost in a devastating four-vehicle collision, as reported by the California Highway Patrol (CHP). The incident occurred around 4 p.m. near the intersection of McHenry and Hogue Road within the Del Rio community.
As of Wednesday morning at 7:30 a.m., the identities of the deceased had not yet been disclosed by authorities. Among the victims were identified a 60-year-old woman from Linden, a 22-year-old man from Merced, a 19-year-old woman also from Merced, and a 1-year-old girl listed as a Turlock resident in a CHP news release.
Emergency responders rushed to the scene to find four vehicles with extensive collision damage: a 2004 Mitsubishi, a 2019 Toyota, a 2001 Ford, and a 2014 Ram. Tragically, the occupants of the Mitsubishi, including the 19-year-old driver and the 22-year-old passenger, were pronounced dead at the scene. The occupants of the Toyota, the 60-year-old and the 1-year-old, were transported by ambulance but were pronounced dead at Medical Memorial Center.
According to the preliminary investigation by CHP, the driver of the Mitsubishi sedan was traveling northbound on McHenry Avenue in the number one lane just north of Hogue Road. For reasons yet unknown, the Mitsubishi veered into the number two lane before returning to the number one lane and eventually crossing into the southbound lanes, leading to a head-on collision with the Toyota SUV.
The Ford, traveling south on McHenry in the number two lane, collided with both the Mitsubishi and the Toyota. Simultaneously, the Ram, also traveling south on McHenry in the number one lane, collided with the Mitsubishi. Apart from the fatalities, there were no reported injuries among other parties involved in the collision. Investigations are underway to determine if drugs or alcohol played a role in the incident.
Officer Tom Olsen, spokesman for CHP Modesto office, stated, "We're still trying to figure out the contributing factors. All we have right now is that the (Mitsubishi) vehicle made a sharp turn to the left, directly into the path of the other vehicles." Following the collision, McHenry Avenue, spanning between Ladd Road and the San Joaquin County Line, was temporarily shut down with detours arranged for motorists during the closure.
