One person was killed, while another was injured following a vehicle vs. semi-truck collision in Fresno County on Monday afternoon, June 17, 2024.
According to the California Highway Patrol, the fatal crash happened around 1:20 p.m. at Kamm Avenue and Jameson Avenue, southwest of Fresno City.
Investigators stated that a 70-year-old woman driving a commercial semi-truck westbound on Kamm Avenue had the right of way to pass through the intersection with Jameson Avenue when a Chevrolet SUV suddenly hit her truck.
The Chevy driver, who is only described as 53 years old, reportedly failed to stop at a posted stop sign and drove right in front of the semi-truck, causing the truck’s front end to collide with its right side. The crash caused major damage to both vehicles and injured both of its solo occupants.
CHP confirmed that the Chevy driver died at the scene. The name, gender, and origin of the deceased have not yet been disclosed. The elderly driver of the semi, meanwhile, sustained minor injuries. It is unclear whether she was transported to a local hospital for treatment.
The incident is still under investigation. CHP said that neither drugs nor alcohol are seen as possible factors in the deadly collision.
No further information was immediately available.
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.
