The driver of a 2016 Acura TLX was killed, and the driver of a 2022 Ram Thor camper van sustained moderate injuries in a head-on collision in Fresno on Sunday morning, September 14, 2025.
According to the California Highway Patrol, officers responded around 8:35 a.m. on American Avenue just west of Navalencia Avenue.
The Acura, driven by a 28-year-old man, veered left into the path of the eastbound camper van, driven by a 62-year-old man. The van driver attempted to slow down but collided with the Acura, causing it to spin out of control and come to rest on the south shoulder. The Acura driver was pronounced dead at the scene.
The Ram camper also carried a 62-year-old female passenger asleep on the bed in the back, who was thrown forward during the crash; her condition has not been reported. Both drivers were reportedly wearing seatbelts, and drugs and alcohol are not suspected to be factors.
Authorities continue to investigate the collision.
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.
