On Saturday, July 9th, 2022, at 1:55 am, the Turlock Police Department was dispatched to a reported vehicle collision in the 100 block of Minaret Ave, Turlock.

When officers arrived on scene, they located three vehicles involved. One was a red Mercedes-Benz sedan, one was a gray GMC pickup truck which was lying on its passenger side, and the other one was a black Chevrolet coupe.

The black Chevrolet coupe also sustained moderate damage, however, was able to be left parked on the side of the road.
