A man was killed, and another man was arrested on suspicion of drunk driving after a multi-vehicle crash on Highway 99 near Arch Road in Stockton on Sunday morning, November 23, 2025.
According to the California Highway Patrol, the incident began around 5:11 a.m. when a Toyota driver lost control for unknown reasons and veered into a concrete divider while traveling north on Highway 99.
The Toyota became disabled and was positioned perpendicular to the traffic lanes. A BMW driver pulled over on the right shoulder to check on the Toyota’s driver.
Roughly four minutes later, a northbound Nissan traveling at a high rate of speed struck the driver’s side of the disabled Toyota and then veered into the rear of the parked BMW. CHP said the Nissan’s driver and passenger fled the scene on foot, running east into an orchard. The Toyota driver suffered major injuries and later died at the hospital. The occupants of the BMW were not injured.
CHP and San Joaquin County Sheriff’s deputies later located the Nissan driver attempting to get into a Lyft vehicle. Authorities said the individual showed signs of impairment and was taken into custody on suspicion of DUI.
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:

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.
