Atwater, CA (June 1, 2025) – A suspected DUI crash at Southern Pacific Avenue and Commerce Avenue killed a 20-year-old woman and a 3-year-old child, the California Highway Patrol reports.
The collision occurred around 10:35 p.m. Sunday when a speeding, impaired driver failed to stop at the intersection and struck another vehicle. Emergency responders pronounced both victims dead at the scene.
Officers arrested 19-year-old Moises Haven Castillo of Catheys Valley on charges including DUI, hit-and-run, and vehicular manslaughter. Investigators continue to probe how excessive speed, alcohol impairment, and the failure to stop contributed to the fatal crash.
