Woman, 47, Killed in Crash is Identified
FRESNO COUNTY, Calif. (July 25, 2023) – Belinda Chacon, 47, died in a chain-reaction crash that left six others injured at Highway 41 and East Elkhorn Avenue in Fresno County.
The deadly collision occurred around 12:45 p.m. on Monday, July 24th, according to a California Highway Patrol dispatch.
A driver in a commercial truck pulling a trailer was traveling southbound on Highway 41. The driver of the Ford F-450 truck apparently didn’t notice that traffic ahead of him was stopped. The truck reportedly rear-ended a Toyota, pushing it into a Chevrolet and a semi-truck. The three vehicles were all stopped at a traffic light at the intersection.
Belinda Chacon was a passenger in the Toyota and suffered fatal injuries. Her husband was driving the car and suffered minor injuries and her infant grandson was in the back seat. The child was airlifted to a hospital with serious injuries. Several occupants of the Chevrolet were also hurt.
Paramedics responded and rushed a total of six people to hospitals for various injuries.
The family of Belinda Chacon created a GoFundMe account to raise money for her funeral.
The crash remains under investigation.
