Six Stockton farmworkers were killed in a suspected DUI crash in Napa County after their minivan veered off Pope Valley Road and hit a tree, according to the Napa County Sheriff’s Office. The driver, 53-year-old Norberto Celerino of Stockton, survived and now faces six counts of murder and six counts of gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated. Court records show Celerino had two prior DUI convictions in San Joaquin County between 2020 and 2024. The men, identified as farmworkers traveling to Napa for grape-picking work, relied on shared rides due to limited transportation options. Advocates say the crash underscores the need for safer travel for agricultural workers in California.
