A 19-year-old Modesto man was killed in a multivehicle accident on Highway 132 near Stone Avenue on Thursday morning.
The man was driving a 1994 Mercedes sedan eastbound about 5:30 a.m. when for unknown reasons he drifted into the westbound lane, according to the California Highway Patrol.
The Mercedes swiped a 2008 Subaru driven by Enrique Hernandez, a 35-year-old Modesto man. It then collided with a 2005 Ford pickup driven by Lenin Cordova Moreno, a 23-year-old from Mexico, the CHP said.
Emergency personnel found the 19-year-old unconscious and unresponsive in the Mercedes. He died at the scene. The man was not wearing a seat belt, the CHP said.
The driver of the pickup was taken to Doctors Medical Center in Modesto with major injuries. Two other vehicles were involved as they struck debris at the scene. Hernandez and the drivers of other two vehicles were uninjured.
It appears speed and alcohol were not factors , according to the CHP.
Both directions of Highway 132 were closed between Stone and Dakota avenues for about 2 1/2 hours.
