The two-vehicle collision occurred at the intersection controlled by stop signs in all four directions at around 3:30 p.m. on Feb. 25th, according to the California Highway Patrol dispatch.

A 17-year-old Modesto boy and his 31-year-old female passenger were heading eastbound in a red 2013 Buick sedan on Fulkerth Road, KCRA reports. The teen driver allegedly drove through a stop sign and collided with a northbound 2004 GMC pickup truck hauling a cattle or horse trailer, the report said.

The 49-year-old man driving the pickup truck was attempting a left-hand turn to go west on Fulkerth Road when the car crashed into it, according to a report by CBS News.
