Accidents Involving Big Rigs On Hwy 99 In And Around Fowler

Traveling alongside big rigs on the fast-moving lanes of Highway 99 can make for a hazardous trip for motorists. Truck drivers can veer over on an occupied lane to sideswipe an unsuspecting motorist. Truck drivers can also be traveling a bit too fast for conditions and be unable to slow their heavy loads when they encounter slowed traffic.

A collision can crush a car in front of a big rig and a collision from the side or rear can leave vehicles against or under the tractor-trailers they haul. Victims often have to wait on medical attention while being freed from the wreckage of a bad truck accident. These delays can increase the chances of someone losing a life in a big rig crash.

Fresno County Big Rig Crash Ends in Fatality

One person was tragically killed in a semi-truck collision in Fresno County on Thursday morning. ABC30-TV reports the accident occurred on Highway 99 between Fowler and Selma near the Manning Avenue exit on July 7, 2022.

The California Highway Patrol says the collision involved a semi pulling a tractor-trailer that hit at least one other vehicle at around 7:30 a.m. A traffic camera showed smoke pouring out of the big rig. One victim involved was pronounced dead at the scene. There’s been no word on any other injuries that may have resulted.

California Highway Patrol investigators continue to work to determine what may have caused the accident.

Assistance for Families After a Highway 99 Big Rig Collision

For families who have lost a loved one in an accident, a wrongful death claim can provide a financial safety net for close relatives as they grieve. Families need economic protection for the future as they face the costs of a funeral and emergency response fees. An at-fault driver’s insurance company can be called upon in a wrongful death lawsuit to provide relief to a family forced to endure such a tragedy.

Trucking companies can also be included in wrongful death claims when their employees cause tragic accidents. A family can ask a business or corporation to contribute to their support through a difficult time. A settlement should include support for the care and financial assistance the deceased will no longer be able to provide in the years to come.
