Passenger Dies in DUI Crash Off Highway 99 in Galt, Jonathan Ratta Arrested
GALT, CA (February 11, 2021) – Police arrested 28-year-old Jonathan Ratta after a deadly DUI accident late Thursday evening in central Galt.
The accident happened around 10:57 p.m. on northbound Highway 99.
Ratta, a Lathrop resident, was driving a BMW sedan along Highway 99 at approximately 80 to 90 mph in heavy rain. He was speeding up the highway when the car began to skid across the road. The car went up the embankment and continued until the front passenger side door struck a large tree.

One passenger in the car, who was not wearing a seat belt, suffered fatal injuries and died at the scene.
A second passenger sustained minor injuries.
Ratta fled the scene on foot. A Galt police officer caught him about 100 yards away and arrested him for driving while intoxicated. He had minor injuries.
