3 suffer major injuries in north Modesto crash

Three people, including a teenage girl, suffered major injuries in a north Modesto crash Tuesday night.

A Chevrolet Suburban was heading north on Coffee Road about 7:45 p.m. when it ran a stop sign and crashed into a Chevy Uplander, according to Officer Anthony Palazuelos of the California Highway Patrol. The Uplander had stopped at the stop sign and was continuing east through the intersection when it was T-boned by the Suburban, Palazuelos said.

The impact of the crash sent both cars to the northeast corner of Coffee and Claribel roads, where the Uplander hit a pole.

Dorothy Bernal, 36, and Angelica Bernal, 13, both of Riverbank, had to be extricated from the Uplander. Both suffered major injuries.

The driver of the Suburban, 53-year-old Fred Mendez of Empire, also suffered major injuries.
