The man killed in a three-vehicle crash in Fresno County on Saturday was identified as 33-year-old Juan Rivera Zepeda of Tulare.
The crash occurred around 4:20 p.m. at Brawley and Jensen avenues, when a gray Ford Fusion was traveling south on Brawley Avenue, a Volkswagen west on Jensen Avenue and a Ford F-150 east on Jensen.
The California Highway Patrol said Jensen Avenue does not have a stop sign at the intersection, but Brawley Avenue does.
Investigators have not determined whether the Ford Fusion stopped before entering the intersection.
The Volkswagen struck the Fusion’s driver’s side, followed by the Ford F-150 striking the Fusion’s passenger side.
Zepeda, who was a passenger in the Ford Fusion, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Six other people were taken to a hospital with injuries ranging from moderate to major.
CHP does not suspect alcohol or drugs were factors in the crash. The crash remains under investigation.
