Turlock, CA (December 5, 2024) On Monday evening, 63-year-old David Beard of Turlock, died in a horrific pedestrian crash on Golden State Boulevard.

According to the California Highway Patrol (CHP), the fatal crash happened at about 7:36 p.m. on Golden State Boulevard.

Authorities say that at aboutt 7:36 p.m., officers arrived at the scene and found Beard lying in the roadway. Emergency responders transported Beard to Doctors Medical Center in Modesto, where he later died.
