Modesto, CA – On the evening of Sunday, June 16, 2025, a single-vehicle motorcycle crash left an 18-year-old Modesto man with serious injuries, according to The Modesto Bee.
The Modesto Police Department reports that the accident took place around 7:12 PM near the intersection of Standiford Avenue and Polaris Street.
Emergency responders from the Modesto Police Department, Modesto Fire Department, and local EMS arrived to find the motorcyclist injured after he crashed into a fence while traveling westbound on Standiford Avenue. Authorities stated that no other vehicles were involved in the incident, and the motorcyclist appeared to have lost control before colliding with the fence.

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.
