One pedestrian was killed, while another was hospitalized after a hit-and-run collision in northeast Fresno on Friday night, May 3, 2024.
According to the Fresno Police Department, the deadly crash happened around 9:00 p.m. near Fashion Fair Mall.
Officers said that they attempted to pull over a vehicle for not having their headlights on near the First Street and Gettysburg Avenue intersection when its driver suddenly sped off. The car then reportedly went into the residential area near Fashion Fair Mall and through a park near Santa Ana Avenue.
After that, the car struck a woman and a man before driving off again and later crashing into a pole near the intersection of Santa Ana Avenue and Thesta Street. The occupants of the now-crashed vehicle then immediately got out and ran off to escape police.
The two pedestrians who were struck both suffered major injuries. Officers confirmed that the woman, who remains unnamed, died at the scene due to her injuries, while the man, who was in his 30s, was transported to a hospital in critical condition.
The two men responsible for the hit-and-run are still at large.
Further details were not immediately provided, and the authorities are still gathering all the necessary information to determine the factors leading up to the fatal accident.
Don’t Know What To Do After An Accident?
Your safety and rights depend on what you do next after an accident. Remember the following steps if you find yourself in one:
- Check yourself for any injuries.
- Stay on the scene, call 9-1-1, and wait for emergency responders.
- Move your vehicle to the road shoulder if safe; turn on hazard lights.
- Fully cooperate with law enforcement and stay until cleared to leave.
- Document the scene and injuries with photos and videos.
- Seek immediate medical attention.
- Contact your insurance company and find a personal injury lawyer for legal advice.
What A Lawyer Can Do For You
Many victims put off calling a lawyer even if they sustain injuries after an accident. However, lawyers can help you in many ways. They can provide you with police reports, CCTV footage, and witness statements to strengthen your case. Your attorney will also negotiate with insurance companies to get you fair compensation. The best part is that they will do all of these things for you at no upfront cost. So if you’re injured in an accident, hire a personal injury attorney to recover medical bills, car repair costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
