By californiainjuryblog-1

Derek Howell, a 30-year-old man from Turlock, was killed in a car accident when the vehicle in which he was passenger ran a stop sign and was struck by a truck. According to a news report in the Modesto Bee, the fatal crash occurred at the intersection of Third Avenue and Highway 165 in Stevinson on September 6, 2010. Authorities believe 33-year-old Charles Prusack, the driver of a 1997 Honda Accord, ran a stop sign at that intersection and was hit by a big-rig. Howell sustained fatal injuries. Prusack's injuries were described as not life-threatening and 61-year-old Eulalio Bernard, the truck driver, was uninjured. Police suspect Prusack may have been drinking before the accident, but do not believe he was under the influence at the time.
