Fresno, CA (October 29, 2024) – A collision occurred on E Jefferson Avenue at the intersection with S Buttonwillow Avenue on Tuesday evening at approximately 8:01 PM. Emergency responders were dispatched to the scene following reports of the incident, which involved a semi-truck and a smaller vehicle.
Initial reports indicate that the semi-truck, which was reportedly loaded with fruit, overturned, coming to rest on its side. This unfortunate event led to a blockage of the roadway, prompting local authorities to respond swiftly to manage the situation. The California Highway Patrol (CHP) confirmed that there were minor injuries reported as a result of the collision.
As emergency services arrived, they found that the semi-truck had not started its own cleanup process, leading to additional delays. The roadway remained closed as crews worked to upright the vehicle and clear the debris. It was noted that the express tow service would be on-site to assist with the recovery efforts, with plans to offload the produce from the trailer to facilitate the process.
By 9:00 PM, emergency medical services were on the scene to provide assistance to those injured, and the situation was under control. The CHP began an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the collision, working to determine the cause and any contributing factors.
