FRESNO, Calif. (KSEE/KGPE) – Two children and multiple adults were hospitalized Wednesday evening after CHP says a Fresno street race ended in a violent rollover crash.
Officers say a Dodge Durango and a Ford Crown Victoria were racing east on Shaw around 6 p.m. when the Durango lost control east of Maroa and struck a Honda SUV.
The impact caused the Durango to roll multiple times before crashing into a concrete wall and coming to an abrupt rest.
The driver and front passenger were transported to the hospital with major injuries, and the two children in the back were transported with minor injuries.
The driver of the Honda also suffered minor injuries, but the status of those in the Crown Victoria is unknown since the driver allegedly fled the scene.
Eastbound traffic is blocked off at College Avenue while crews investigate.
