The driver who died in a head-on collision in Merced County in December 2023 has been identified by the Merced County Sheriff Coroner’s Office. The victim, Deputy Michael Domingue stated, was a 20-year-old Fresno resident named Joseph Gonzalez.
At around 10:47 a.m. on December 26, 2023, California Highway Patrol officers responded quickly to a distress call regarding a head-on collision at Highway 59 and Rahilly Road.
According to CHP preliminary investigations, Gonzalez was driving a 2019 Jeep SUV in the Highway 59 southbound lane, which is south of McNamara Road.
The Jeep suddenly veered to the left for unclear causes, slamming right into the path of a 2020 Freightliner box truck traveling north on Highway 59 at about fifty miles per hour.
