Isaac Aguilera ID’d as Man Killed in Turlock Car Accident at South Walnut Road and West Harding Road
Turlock, California (August 12, 2020) – The Stanislaus County Coroner’s Office has identified the man who died in an alleged DUI crash early Wednesday morning at an intersection south of Turlock as Isaac Aguilera, 20, of Modesto.
The deadly accident happened at around 1:30 a.m. at the intersection of South Walnut Road and West Harding Road.
According to the California Highway Patrol, a 2002 Ford, driven by Aguilera, was heading northbound on Walnut Road, coming towards Harding Road at a high rate of speed when, for unknown reasons, the Ford veered to the east and hit the concrete bridge barrier wall over a Turlock Irrigation District canal.
As a result of the crash, the Ford flipped over and landed on its roof.
Moments later, a 2011 Hyundai Genesis, driven by Amy Cole, 45, of Hilmar, was traveling southbound on Walnut Road at a high rate of speed and crashed into the Ford. Both vehicles spun due to the impact, and the front of the Hyundai ripped the Ford in half.

Losing a loved one in a car accident is devastating. It is even worse when a third party was responsible for the collision. Car accidents can be caused by many factors, including a driver’s fault, other road users’ faults or failure by the local authorities or agencies to maintain good roads or put proper signage. One or several of these factors could contribute to an accident resulting in wrongful death.
The death of a loved one brings about life-long adverse effects to the close family members of the deceased. No one deserves to suffer such consequences due to the negligence actions of another party.
Although there is nothing that can replace the loss of a loved one, some actions can ease the burden that comes with the loss. The family members of a person killed in a car accident are advised to file a wrongful death claim against the party at fault to seek compensation for wrongful death.
If successful, a wrongful death claim can provide the family with funds to compensate for medical bills, funeral expenses and funds to help those who depended on the deceased to continue with their lives smoothly.
