A Patterson driver died Tuesday night in a collision between a car and a big rig on Highway 132 west of Modesto, according to the California Highway Patrol.
Ricardo Ramirez, 64, was northbound on Gates Road in a Honda Civic and stopped at a stop sign at Highway 132 at about 6:11 p.m., said CHP Officer Ming Hsu.
Ramirez then proceeded into the intersection, driving into the path of big rig that did not have a stop sign.

Ramirez was pronounced dead at the scene, Hsu said.
The driver of the big rig, 58-year-old Manjit Grewal of Madera, was not injured.
