Modesto man critically injured in crash on Roselle Avenue

A 28-year-old Modesto man suffered critical injuries after the vehicle he was driving went off the road and crashed early Sunday.

The Modesto Police Department said early reports suggest alcohol and/or drugs, along with vehicle speed, might have been factors in the crash.

About 2:05 a.m., Eric Soria was driving a 1999 Lexus sedan south in the 3700 block of Roselle Avenue in northeast Modesto when the vehicle went off the road, crashed into neighboring fences, rolled through a field and came to a stop in front of a house, according to police.

The site of the wreck was just north of Sylvan Avenue. Soria was found inside the vehicle and taken by ambulance to Memorial Medical Center. Information was not available on the nature of his injuries.

The police Traffic Unit responded to the crash and is leading the investigation.

Anyone who witnessed the crash or has information about it is asked to email traffic Officer Billy Boyle at boyleb@modestpd.com.
