PATTERSON, California (KCRA) — Body camera footage released on Wednesday shows Patterson deputies pull a driver from a crashed, burning vehicle.
The Stanislaus County Sheriff’s Office said deputies from Patterson Police Services responded to the crash on April 20 around 2:15 a.m. near the intersection of Jennings Road and West Main Street.
Officials said the deputies arrived to find the vehicle had left the roadway and was engulfed in flames.
