VERY LUCKY ON ALL FRONTS:
At approximately 5:30am, an officer with the turlockpolice department responded to assist the CHP - Modesto with a traffic collision, NB SR-99, just south of Lander Road. The officer positioned their patrol vehicle in the fast lane to provide traffic control and safety to the involved parties. Unfortunately, a 66 year old male adult, driving a Chevrolet pickup did not see the cruiser’s emergency lights and slammed into its rear. Luckily, the officer was outside of their vehicle at the time of the collision. We are glad to report the driver of the pickup truck was not injured. The California Highway Patrol would like to remind all motorists a complacent mindset can possibly lead to deadly consequences. Focus your attention down the road, lower your speed and ALWAYS get to your destination in a safe manner.

Drowning at Modesto Reservoir

On July 6th, 2024, at about 12:21 p.m., a 911 call was received regarding a male in distress in the water at Modesto Reservoir. Modesto Reservoir deputies responded to the area and located him underwater at 12:29 p.m. He was immediately taken to shore, and deputies started CPR. Medical personnel arrived on the scene and continued life-saving measures. He was identified as a 30-year-old male from Modesto. He was transported by ambulance to Docotor's Medical Center, where he was pronounced deceased. From the hospital, he will be transported to Stanislaus County Coroner's Office, where an autopsy will be conducted later in the week to determine the cause of death. We extend our deepest condolences to the family and friends of the victim during this time.

We would also like to remind the community of these basic water safety tips: 1) wear a life jacket as provided for free by County Parks & Recreation, regardless of your swimming abilities, 2) know your limitations when entering any body of water, 3) moderate your alcohol intake, 4) always swim with someone else who can provide or reach out to others for help, and 5) everyone is a safety officer, if you see someone struggling to swim, please call 911 immediately.

Update on yesterday drowning at Modesto Reservoir

Drowning at Modesto Reservoir

Yesterday afternoon at about 4:25 p.m., a 911 call was received regarding a male swimming in the Modesto Reservoir. Family members said he was swimming, began struggling to stay afloat, and yelled for help. Unfortunately, he went underwater, and it had been over 10 minutes since he was last seen. The Sheriff’s Office Special Vehicle Operations Unit, Sheriff’s Office Drone Team, Sheriff’s Office Waterford Police Services, fire personnel, and Sheriff’s Office Dive Team responded to the reservoir to assist in the search.

At approximately 7:00 p.m., the Sheriff’s Office Dive Team located the missing male. He was identified as a 38-year-old Hispanic male from Oakland. He was transported to Stanislaus County Coroner’s Office, where an autopsy will be conducted later in the week to determine a cause of death.

We extend our deepest condolences to the family and friends of the victim during this time. We would also like to remind the community of these four basic water safety tips: 1) wear a life jacket as provided for free by county Parks & Recreation, 2) know your limitations when entering any body of water, 3) moderate your alcohol intake, and 4) always swim with someone else who can provide or reach out to others for help during an emergency.
