MODESTO, CA (April 2, 2019) – A DUI two-car collision on West Grayson and Vivian roads Sunday afternoon left eight people with injuries.
 
Two small children were among the eight victims in Sunday’s crash that occurred around 1:30 p.m.
 
Shortly before 1:30 p.m., 29-year-old Michel Medina collided with a 1994 Mazda B4000 while traveling west on Grayson Road. Seconds prior, 23-year-old Usbaldo Santos-Estrada failed to stop at the stop sign while traveling north on Vivian Road.
 
As a result, Santos-Estrada’s Mazda struck the driver’s side of Medina’s 2008 Saturn Outlook SUV. The impact caused the Mazda to flip and the Saturn to drive off the roadway into metal fencing.
 
Following the accident, paramedics transported both drivers and their passengers to nearby hospitals by helicopters and ambulances.

Reports noted that paramedics transported Hugo to Emanuel Medical Center and airlifted Adrian to UC Davis Medical Center in Sacramento.

Also, in the Mazda, 18-year-old Reyna Zamora, of Patterson, suffered major injuries and sought treatment at Doctors Medical Center.
 
To add to the total injured, 29-year-old Ricardo Ordaz, of Hughson; 26-year-old Ashley Garcia, of Waterford; and 18-year-old Claudia Hernandez, of Patterson, suffered minor injuries.
