Action News has obtained dashcam footage from one driver who barely avoided the deadly multi-vehicle pileup on Highway 99 in Fresno.<\/p>\n
The video, uploaded to TikTok by @abdul.mateeen.momini<\/a> a few days after the crash, shows the foggy conditions between North and Cedar avenues just after 9 a.m. Sunday.<\/p>\n As the car heads south, you can see the fog drifting across the highway but the road ahead is still visible.<\/p>\n Suddenly, a dense patch nearly eliminates any view and in the blink of an eye, the massive pile-up appears in the mist.<\/p>\n The driver makes a split-second move to narrowly avoid the crash.<\/p>\n 61-year-old Gustavo Villanueva Vargas of Fresno was killed, and his wife was severely injured.<\/p>\n Several others, including children, were taken to the hospital with injuries.<\/p>\n Reports show two vehicles had initially slowed down, with several others behind them traveling faster.<\/p>\n Investigators say visibility was estimated to be reduced to just 10 to 15 feet at the time of the crash.<\/p>\n PREVIOUS COVERAGE<\/p>\n 61-year-old man killed in multi-vehicle pileup on southbound HWY 99, CHP investigating<\/a>
