Jaylene Lasarga Suffers Major Injuries in Crash

LOS BANOS, Calif. (August 21, 2024) – A fatal car accident happened Tuesday night on the southbound Interstate 5 Freeway, just north of Nees Avenue in the Los Banos area.

A 21-year-old man who was driving a 2020 Dodge is dead and his passenger, Jaylene Lasarga suffered major injuries, the Los Banos Enterprise reports.

The Dodge was reportedly traveling at high speed when it collided with a 2023 Volvo at around 11 p.m. on August 20th, according to the California Highway Patrol. The Volvo had come to a stop in traffic and the Dodge swerved to avoid a collision, but struck the back of the Volvo’s trailer. The Dodge reportedly went off road onto the shoulder of the freeway.

The driver suffered fatal injuries and his passenger was transported by air ambulance to Memorial North Hospital in Modesto for treatment of a major leg injury.

Meanwhile, the driver in the Volvo, Kevin King, survived the crash with no immediate injuries and pulled over.

Finally, witnesses should contact Officer Shannon Stiers, at (209) 826-3811.
