Fresno, CA – In the early morning hours of Wednesday, June 18, 2025, a two-vehicle collision resulted in one woman being hospitalized with injuries, according to ABC30..
The Fresno Police Department reports that the accident took place around 4:00 AM at the intersection of Herndon and Willow Avenues.
Investigators say the crash occurred when a woman driving eastbound on Herndon Avenue allegedly ran a red light and collided with a vehicle traveling southbound on Willow Avenue. Emergency medical responders transported the woman to a local hospital for treatment. Her condition has not been disclosed. The male driver of the second vehicle was not injured in the crash.
At this time, authorities have not confirmed whether drugs or alcohol played a role in the incident. The investigation is ongoing, and toxicology results, if any, have not yet been released.
Traffic control was implemented in the area following the crash. Northbound Willow Avenue remained closed for approximately one hour, while a portion of southbound Willow remained partially open to allow limited traffic flow.
Stop Sign Laws
California Law requires drivers to come to a complete stop at a Stop sign (California Vehicle Code 22450). Drivers may only enter the intersection when it appears safe for all parties to do so (California Vehicle Code 21802).
Personal Injury Claims & Comparative Negligence
Determining fault in a collision can involve multiple factors, and under California’s Comparative Negligence rule, several parties can share partial responsibility. Should evidence reveal that another party contributed to the injuries, victims may be eligible to file a Personal Injury Claim with the responsible party’s insurance, which can provide compensation for medical bills and lost wages during recovery.
