Fatal Traffic Collision Under Investigation 

October 11, 2026 – Turlock Police Department officials report that on October 10, 2026, at around 5:30 p.m., the Turlock Police Department received a report of a collision involving a vehicle and a juvenile riding an electric motorcycle, commonly referred to as an “e-moto,” in the area of Tokay Avenue and Old Vineyard Road.

Officers arrived and located a 15-year-old boy who was not breathing. Officers immediately began CPR and continued lifesaving efforts until fire personnel arrived. Despite their efforts, the juvenile was pronounced deceased at the scene.

The driver of the vehicle remained at the scene and cooperated with investigators. At this time, investigators do not believe drugs or alcohol were a factor in the collision.

The Turlock Police Department’s Major Accident Investigation Team (MAIT) was activated and has taken over the investigation. The circumstances leading up to the collision remain under investigation, and no further details are available at this time.

This tragedy is also an important reminder for parents and guardians about the very real risks associated with e-motos and similar high-powered electric vehicles.

We ask our community to keep everyone impacted by this collision in their thoughts and to give the family privacy during an incredibly difficult time.

Anyone who witnessed the collision or has information that may assist investigators is encouraged to contact Officer Allison at (209) 664-7398.
