Cecilia Delgadillo, 10-Year-Old Dayalin Gutierrez Killed in Crash on Highway 132 [Modesto, CA]
Two Killed, Four Injured in Crash on Highway 132 near River Road in Modesto
MODESTO, CA (September 7, 2020) – Police identified Cecilia Delgadillo and her 10-year-old daughter, Dayalin Gutierrez, as the victims who died in a crash on Highway 132 on Monday afternoon.
According to the California Highway Patrol, the accident happened between River Road and McCracken Road around 4:02 PM.
Based on a report, the 29-year-old woman from Oakland was driving a green 2001 Honda Civic eastbound on the highway prior to the crash. At the same time, Luis C. Chicas, 46, of Redwood City was driving a white 2000 Ford E-350 van westbound. When Chicas stopped at a red light, Delgadillo let her Honda drift about 2 feet into the westbound lane to pass traffic. Subsequently, Delgadillo then turned sharply to the right and went onto the south shoulder of the road, where the Civic began to spin counterclockwise. Consequently, the front of the Ford van hit the right side of her Honda.
As a result, Delgadillo, who was not wearing her seat belt, died at the scene. Gutierrez was riding in the right front passenger seat and was wearing her seat belt but also suffered fatal injuries. In addition, a 2-year-old girl suffered a broken arm while an 8-year-old boy also a broken arm and brain bleed. Crews took them by helicopter to the UC Davis Medical Center in Sacramento. Chicas also suffered major injuries and was taken to San Joaquin General Hospital in French Camp. His passenger, Irvin Z. Medina, 34, of Redwood City, complained of pain to his neck, hand, and side and was treated at the scene.
At this time, officers don’t have additional information. However, the investigation into the case is on-going.
