»» Ceres teen killed in rollover crash ID’d by Stanislaus Coroner’s Office

One high school student was killed and three others injured following a crash near Central Valley High School in Ceres Wednesday afternoon.

The crash occurred on Blaker Road south of Service Road at 3 p.m., about 15 minutes after school let out.

Early reports indicated the car carrying the four hit a tree and overturned and at least one student was ejected.

The Modesto Fire Department reported Thursday that crews were en route to and from training at its nearby Station 17, so closest units responded to the crash scene. The California Highway Patrol was conducting training at the Ceres Police Department range right by the scene, so also responded.

Blaker was closed between Service and Grayson Road as the Ceres Police Department was investigating.

Other departments involved were the Ceres police, American Medical Response, Stanislaus Consolidated Fire Protection District, and Ceres and Salida fire.

We will have more on this story as information becomes available.
