Turlock, CA – In the early morning hours of Sunday, June 1, 2025, a three-vehicle collision resulted in one fatality, according to CHP Fatal.
The California Highway Patrol reports that the crash occurred at approximately 2:27 AM near the intersection of West Main Street and South Moffett Road. Emergency dispatch logs indicate that one of the vehicles had overturned and was resting on its roof at the scene.
Preliminary information suggests the crash involved a 2015 blue Honda Civic, a Dodge Charger with front-end damage, and a Honda Accord that sustained significant frontal impact. Authorities described the incident as a head-on collision, though the exact sequence of events remains under investigation.
Medical personnel from AMR and local fire crews responded to the scene. A fire department captain pronounced one individual dead at 2:42 AM. The identity of the deceased will be released pending notification of next of kin by the Stanislaus County Coroner’s Office.
All three vehicles involved were removed by towing services, and the roadway was fully reopened before 6:00 AM. The cause of the crash remains under investigation by CHP.
Wrongful Death Claims & Comparative Negligence
Determining fault in a collision can involve multiple factors, and under California’s Comparative Negligence rule, several parties can share partial responsibility. Should someone else be found even partly responsible for the death, the family may be able to file a Wrongful Death claim against the at-fault driver’s insurance. This can provide compensation to help cover medical bills, funeral expenses, and the loss of income to support the family of the deceased.
