San Joaquin County, CA – On the afternoon of Monday, April 14, 2025, a single-vehicle crash involving a car and a tree resulted in a fatality, according to CHP Fatal.
The San Joaquin County Sheriff’s Office reports that the accident took place around 12:50 PM near the intersection of West Canal Boulevard and West Berry Avenue, just south of the Interstate 205 overpass.
Authorities stated that a vehicle collided with a tree, causing significant damage and trapping the occupants inside. Emergency crews from the Stockton Fire Department responded to the scene to assist with extrication efforts. Despite those efforts, at least one person was pronounced dead at the scene.
A wrecker and flatbed tow truck were requested to remove the vehicle from the crash site. All lanes in the area were reopened by approximately 3:30 PM.
The identity of the deceased has not been released, pending notification of next of kin. Investigators continue to examine the circumstances surrounding the collision.
Single-Vehicle Collisions
In some cases, investigations may reveal that even in a single-vehicle accident, nearby drivers or unsafe road features share some responsibility. California’s Comparative Negligence rule means that even if those injured in accidents are found partially at fault, they may still be eligible to receive partial compensation for damages.
