Leticia Cardona, 40, Seriously Injured; Girl, 14, Killed in Fresno County Car Crash

FRESNO COUNTY, CA (March 5, 2022) – A fatal crash left Leticia Cardona seriously injured at Mt. Whitney Avenue and Cedar Street in Fresno County.

The California Highway Patrol identified the 40-year-old Laton woman as one of the victims in the wreck which took place on Saturday morning.

The incident happened when Leticia Cardona was driving a 2016 black Honda Accord west on Mt Whitney Avenue in Fresno County. At the same time, a 2020 silver Lexus sedan was going north on Cedar.

CHP said for an unknown reason, the Lexus ran a stop sign at the intersection. In the process, the Honda broadsided the Lexus which rolled over multiple times.
