A 17-year-old was killed and an 11-year-old remains in critical condition following a two-vehicle crash in Fresno on Friday.<\/p>\n

The crash occurred around 10:40 p.m. at the intersection of Bullard and Palm avenues, according to Fresno Police Lt. Justin Hoagland.<\/p>\n

Police said a white truck was traveling west on Bullard Avenue and entered the intersection at Palm Avenue when the crash happened.<\/p>\n

Officers arrived to what Hoagland described as a \u201cchaotic\u201d scene, with a large group of pedestrians gathered nearby.<\/p>\n

Officers rendered aid before both juveniles were taken to a local hospital.<\/p>\n

The 17-year-old later died, while the 11-year-old remains in serious condition, Hoagland said.<\/p>\n

The driver of the truck stayed at the scene and is cooperating with investigators.<\/p>\n

Police do not suspect drugs or alcohol were factors in the crash.<\/p>\n

Authorities are canvassing the area for surveillance video to determine what led up to the collision.<\/p>\n

Hoagland noted that a motorcycle was attached to the white truck at the time of the crash.<\/p>\n

The department\u2019s Collision Reconstruction Unit is investigating.<\/p>\n

The intersection remained closed for several hours following the incident.<\/p>\n

Anyone with information is asked to contact the police at 559-621-7000<\/a>.<\/p>\n
