One person died Wednesday night in a multi-vehicle wreck in central Modesto.

At about 8:30 p.m, crews were called to an area just north of the intersection at Tully and Rumble roads on a report of a wreck involving two vehicles.

Firefighters and police arrived and found one vehicle overturned near a house on the east side of Tully and another vehicle with a smashed-up front end facing north on the four-lane road.
