1 Dead, 3 Injured in Multi-Vehicle Car Accident
FRESNO COUNTY, Calif. (August 23, 2023) — A fatal multi-vehicle crash happened at Goodfellow Avenue and Rio Vista Avenue on Tuesday afternoon in Fresno County.
A 58-year-old man died and three other drivers were injured in the collision reported at 3:30 p.m. on August 22nd, according to ABC 30 News.
The incident occurred after a 26-year-old woman driving a truck swerved to avoid hitting a Toyota Camry. She veered into oncoming traffic and collided head-on with a BMW. The truck also collided with a Hyundai before the vehicles came to a stop.
The 58-year-old man driving the BMW suffered major injuries and was transported to a hospital where he later died from his injuries.
