HILMAR, CA (January 16, 2022) – Saturday afternoon, 30-year-old Melo Toste Correia suffered injuries in a motorcycle crash on Highway 165.
The crash between a vehicle and a motorcycle happened at 2:37 a.m. Moreover, it occurred on Highway 165, south of Fowler Road near Hilmar.
According to reports, a 76-year old Hilmar woman drove a 1999 Honda Accord north on Highway 165. As she slowed to turn left, her car crashed with Melo Toste Correia riding a 2002 Kawasaki ZX600.

Eventually, the motorcycle hit a cable box which ejected Toste Correia from the motorcycle. As a result, he fell another 200 feet, said CHP Officer Eric Zuniga.
