At 8:30 a.m. on Highway 99 in Modesto on Saturday, a 2002 Toyota struck a 2003 Ford pickup truck, and the Ford’s driver was killed instantly.
The driver of the Toyota was identified by Modesto police officers as Kevin Amilcar Orellana of Huntington Park. His car was speeding in and out of lanes when he lost control of his car and swayed into the left lane going north. He hit the right side of the pick up truck, spun leftward and went over the median with the pick up truck rolling over its roof. All three lanes were closed for four hours while an investigation was underway.
There were no passengers in either car, and both drivers had their safety belts on. Orellana did not incur any injuries but was booked on vehicular manslaughter with gross negligence charges in Stanislaus County.
