FRESNO, Calif. — The California Highway Patrol is investigating a deadly multi-vehicle crash on southbound Highway 99.<\/p>\n
Officers responded on Sunday at 9:15 a.m. to the portion of the highway between North and Cedar Avenues.<\/p>\n
Mike Salas with CHP says at least one person is dead and multiple others, including children, are injured.<\/p>\n
People sustained minor to major injuries and were taken to local hospitals.<\/p>\n
He says there was only 10 to 15 feet of visibility on the road at the time of the pile-up.<\/p>\n
Salas says that 15 to 20 cars of all sizes were involved and believes fog was a factor.<\/p>\n
Initial reports indicate that two vehicles slowed down, while several vehicles behind them were traveling faster, leading to crashes.<\/p>\n
Multiple agencies responded to the scene, including medical personnel and fire crews.<\/p>\n
A Fresno FAX bus also helped transport people who sustained minor injuries.<\/p>\n
Salas is urging drivers to take an alternate route and reminds everyone to be cautious on the road.<\/p>\n
The area of the highway impacted is expected to be closed well into the afternoon as the investigation continues.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"FRESNO, Calif. — The California Highway Patrol is investigating a deadly multi-vehicle crash on southbound Highway 99.
