Coroner IDs motorcyclist killed in Modesto crash

Modesto

The motorcyclist killed in a crash with a pickup early Monday was David Corchado, the Stanislaus County Coroner's Office said Tuesday.

Corchado was a 33-year-old Modesto resident.

He was southbound on Prescott Road and the driver of a Toyota Tacoma pickup, 69-year-old John Nicolodi of Modesto, was westbound on Cheyenne Way when the vehicles collided in the intersection. Nicolodi was not injured, police said.

Information on which vehicle had the right of way was not available Tuesday. Modesto Police Department spokeswoman Jessica Smart said there is no indication alcohol or drugs were factors in the crash.

No witnesses were at the scene when first responders arrived, Smart said. Anyone with information on the crash is asked to call the Police Department at 209-572-9500 and ask for Officer Daniel Phillips.

Family of Corchado has established a gofundme account, saying he “leaves behind a wife and son who need help with his burial.”
