Truck damages Modesto Airport fence

MODESTO -- The perimeter at the Modesto Airport was briefly and barely breached Saturday afternoon when a medium-size pickup crashed into a fence at Mitchell and Finch roads.

The driver was not injured in the 1:28 p.m. accident, but the truck damaged a 4- to 6-foot section of fence, said Modesto Regional Fire Authority Battalion Chief Randy Anderson.

Fire crews stood by as a security measure until the fence could be repaired, roughly an hour after the incident, Anderson said.
