Officer Eric Zuniga revealed that 18-year-old Ruben Alvarez of Atwater traveled east on Mercedes Avenue in a 1999 Honda Civic. When Alvarez slowed down at a stop sign, he then drove into the intersection and didn’t yield the right of way to a northbound box truck on North Winton Way driven by 60-year-old Carmen Ramirez of Winton.
 
The box truck then crashed with the Honda before both vehicles stopped on the front lawn of a nearby home.
 
An ambulance took Ruben Alvarez to Modesto Memorial Hospital with major injuries. Meanwhile, another ambulance transported Carmen Ramirez to Mercy Medical Center in Merced for a complaint of pain.
 
The authorities ruled out drugs or alcohol as a factor in the crash.
