Tow Truck Accident Dangers on Friant Road in Fresno CA

Motorists are always at the mercy of the carelessness of other drivers. Drivers can lose focus on the road and cause major accidents. When a heavy truck is involved, the injuries resulting from an impact can be that much more serious.

Victims can suffer fractured arm and leg bones and skull fractures. Victims might suffer traumatic brain injuries and damage to other organs. In the worst instances, victims can be left to fight for their lives after suffering severe injuries.

Woman Killed in Fresno Accident Involving Tow Truck

A woman was tragically killed in a collision with a tow truck early Wednesday morning in northern Fresno. KFSN-TV reports the accident occurred at the intersection of Friant Road and Shepard Avenue on April 12, 2023.

Fresno Police responded to the scene sometime around 1 a.m. They determined that a tow-truck driver traveling northbound on Friant ran a red light and collided with a car trying to make a left turn onto southbound Friant.

The woman driving the car, a 22-year-old from Fresno, was trapped in her car. She was freed but was then pronounced dead at the scene.

The tow truck driver was not injured and remained on the scene to cooperate with Fresno Police. Investigators have video of the accident recorded by a local resident’s backyard camera. Officers are still examining the circumstances surrounding the crash. They have not yet filed any charges in the accident.

Support for Families After a Heartbreaking Fresno Car Accident

Family members who have lost a loved one in a tragic accident can rightfully wonder how to protect themselves in the coming months and years. They’ll face the leftover emergency response fees and the funeral costs stemming from a fatal collision. Close relatives, like a spouse or children of the victim, might also experience a major loss of income now that the victim can no longer provide weekly financial support.

Family members are encouraged to file a wrongful death claim against an at-fault driver. In cases involving a professional truck driver who causes an accident while on the clock, the company the driver works for might also be held liable. This could mean additional support is made available to family members. A Fresno wrongful death lawyer can file a wrongful death claim on behalf of the family and collect evidence to make sure insurance companies from all at-fault parties are held fully accountable.
