On Monday August 3, 2009 4 people were killed when a man driving an 18-wheeler truck ran a posted stop sign. According to the California Highway Patrol (CHP) the wreck occurred sometime around 5 a.m. when the large truck crashed into a compact automobile.
The witnesses at the scene say that the driver left the scene of the accident. The CHP reported that the man was arrested hours later for suspicion of hit and run in addition to vehicular homicide.
According to the Fresno authorities, the roof of the small car was completely taken off in the collision. The truck accident left four people dead and one in serious condition. The young woman was rushed to the local Fresno hospital to be treated for her critical injuries.
This reckless driver has caused the wrongful death of 4 people and left several families with much sorrow and many unanswered questions. These families should file a wrongful death claim against this negligent truck driver.
