Two people were killed after a suspected DUI collision in Turlock on Saturday afternoon, June 8, 2024.
According to the California Highway Patrol, the fatal crash happened around 4:00 p.m. along Geer Road south of Grayson Road.

The female driver of the Lexus, later identified as 25-year-old Dominique C. from Turlock, and the male driver of the Toyota, 36-year-old Jesus P., both died at the scene immediately following the crash. The two drivers were reportedly wearing their respective seatbelts.
CHP suspects that alcohol intoxication played a role in the deadly incident.
No further information was immediately released. The investigation into the collision is still underway.
Don’t Know What To Do After An Accident?
Your safety and rights depend on what you do next after an accident. Remember the following steps if you find yourself in one:
- Check yourself for any injuries.
- Stay on the scene, call 9-1-1, and wait for emergency responders.
- Move your vehicle to the road shoulder if safe; turn on hazard lights.
- Fully cooperate with law enforcement and stay until cleared to leave.
- Document the scene and injuries with photos and videos.
- Seek immediate medical attention.
- Contact your insurance company and find a personal injury lawyer for legal advice.
What A Lawyer Can Do For You
Many victims put off calling a lawyer even if they sustain injuries after an accident. However, lawyers can help you in many ways. They can provide you with police reports, CCTV footage, and witness statements to strengthen your case. Your attorney will also negotiate with insurance companies to get you fair compensation. The best part is that they will do all of these things for you at no upfront cost. So if you’re injured in an accident, hire a personal injury attorney to recover medical bills, car repair costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
