FARMINGTON, San Joaquin County, Calif., Oct. 24, 2026 — A pickup truck and an SUV collided on eastbound State Route 4 at Milton Road Friday afternoon, October 23, leaving the SUV on its roof, according to the California Highway Patrol.
The crash involved a green Ford F-150 and a gray Honda SUV, the CHP traffic log shows. The SUV came to rest on its roof after the collision. The agency initially logged the crash as a traffic hazard before updating it to a collision with minor injuries.
Fire crews from Stanislaus County were dispatched to the scene, the CHP log indicates, though it is not clear how many people were hurt or what injuries were reported. Tow trucks were called for both vehicles. One occupant reportedly asked to be taken to a residence in Discovery Bay.
The circumstances that led to the crash have not been released. The CHP has not said which vehicle, if either, was found at fault, and the investigation appears to be ongoing.
We wish the injured a complete and speedy recovery.

If you're involved in a rollover collision, try to stay calm and check yourself and passengers for injuries before attempting to move.
