Crash in Modesto’s East Briggsmore Avenue Claims Driver’s Life

MODESTO, CA (September 3, 2024) — A tragic accident in Modesto led to the death of a local driver Sunday morning when their 1994 Chevrolet Z28 Camaro struck a tree on East Briggsmore Avenue.
The incident, reported around 11:28 a.m., happened as the Camaro was heading eastbound and veered off the road. The impact was so severe that it tore the vehicle apart and ejected the driver, who died at the scene.
Witnesses described the scene as “absolutely horrendous,” with the Camaro disintegrating upon impact and the driver’s body landing in the roadway, later covered by a yellow tarp by the Modesto Police Department (MPD). The crash prompted the closure of East Briggsmore, a key route near Rose Avenue, for over five hours, though it has since been reopened.
The MPD is still investigating the cause of the collision.
