LOS BANOS, CA (November 16, 2022) – Zeferino Alvarado died in a fiery high-speed crash in Los Banos Saturday morning on November 12.
 
The crash happened around 6:58 a.m. on Highway 152 at Delta Road. According to the CHP, Alvarado was speeding in a 2021 Ford Mustang at 120 mph during foggy conditions with visibility between 500 to 700 feet.
 
At the same time, 42-year-old Rodriguez Sanchez of Modesto was driving a 2020 Autocar garbage truck southbound on Delta Road at a stop sign with Highway 152.
 
Due to the Mustang’s unsafe speed, inadequate lighting and foggy conditions, Sanchez was unable to see the car rapidly approaching and drove into the intersection.
 
The front of the Mustang collided with the left side of the garbage truck. The impact caused the truck to overturn onto the right side. The Mustang became fully engulfed in flames.

Alvarado died at the scene. He was 19 years old from Dos Palos, according the Merced County Sheriff Coroner’s Office.
 
Sanchez was not injured in the crash.
 
It is unknown if drugs or alcohol was a factor. Further investigation is underway.
