1 Killed, 1 Hurt in Fresno County Big Rig Accident at American and Fowler Avenues

Fresno County, California (March 5, 2020) – One person was killed and another injured after a crash involving a big rig and a car on Thursday morning in Fresno County, according to the CHP.

The crash happened at about 8:30 a.m., at American and Fowler.

It appeared like a driver pulled out from a traffic stop sign and eventually got hit by an oncoming big rig that had the right-of-way. The car driver may have thought the road was a 4-way stop, but it was only a 2-way, according to the California Highway Patrol.

A female passenger in the car was pronounced dead in the crash while the driver was hospitalized.

More details about the crash were not available.

An investigation into the crash is ongoing.

Managing Partner and CEO Alpine Law Group, Mr. Arin Khodaverdian believes that car accident claims are rarely straightforward regardless of the circumstances involved. “Liable insurance companies will often do everything possible to limit their out-of-pocket expenses by either devaluing or outright denying your claim and it is crucial, therefore, to have an experienced attorney on your side,” He said.

Mr. Khodaverdian encourages victims and their family members to seek legal help as soon as possible in order to preserve their rights to the full extent of the law.

Mr. Khodaverdian has worked for many years as a wrongful death and personal injury attorney. He and his team of attorneys has helped thousands of injury victims and their families recover over $100 million in compensation. “In one case, we recovered a 7-figure settlement within 11 business days of being hired by the family of a victim who was killed by a negligent driver.”

Swift action by an experienced attorney helps preserve evidence, interview witnesses, and begin to pursue those responsible for the incident.
