Turlock, CA – On the morning of Saturday, February 14, 2026, a three-vehicle collision resulted in five people being hospitalized and multiple others treated at the scene, according to FOX40.

The Turlock Fire Department reports that the accident took place around 10:51 AM at Golden State Boulevard and Monte Vista Avenue.

Fire crews responded to find three vehicles involved in the crash, with the roadway and nearby railroad tracks blocked as a result of the collision. Authorities confirmed that train traffic in the area was temporarily stopped due to the obstruction on the tracks.

Emergency personnel provided medical care to 10 patients at the scene. Of those, five individuals were transported to area hospitals for further treatment. The conditions of those hospitalized were not immediately released. The remaining five patients were treated at the scene.

Officials have not disclosed the cause of the crash, and the incident remains under investigation.

Wrongful Death Claims & Comparative Negligence

Determining fault in a collision can involve multiple factors, and under California’s Comparative Negligence rule, several parties can share partial responsibility.  

Should someone else be found even partly responsible for the death, the family may be able to file a Wrongful Death claim against the at-fault driver’s insurance. This can provide compensation to help cover medical bills, funeral expenses, and the loss of income to support the family of the deceased.
