A man was killed Sunday morning in a two-vehicle crash involving heavy fog on Clovis Avenue in Fresno County, the California Highway Patrol reported.<\/p>\n
The collision was reported around 7:30 a.m. on Clovis Avenue south of Golden State Boulevard, according to a preliminary investigation.<\/p>\n
Investigators said a 40-year-old man driving a 2021 Freightliner was traveling northbound on Clovis Avenue and attempting to make a U-turn to head southbound when an unidentified adult male driving a 2003 Chevrolet S-10 pickup southbound in the No. 1 lane collided with the trailer.<\/p>\n
Authorities said heavy fog and the Freightliner making a U-turn within the intersection contributed to the crash. After feeling the impact, the Freightliner driver pulled to the right shoulder with the pickup truck lodged underneath the trailer.<\/p>\n
The Chevrolet S-10 became engulfed in flames while beneath the trailer, and the driver sustained fatal injuries. He was pronounced dead at the scene.<\/p>\n
The driver of the Freightliner reported no injuries. Investigators said alcohol or drugs do not appear to be factors, and the crash remains under investigation.<\/p>\n
