Fresno, California – A man lost his life and another person was hospitalized following a collision Thursday morning in Fresno.
The crash occurred around 6:50 a.m. near the intersection of Buttonwillow and American Avenues, within the jurisdiction of the CHP Kings River Resident Post.
According to the California Highway Patrol, a 64-year-old woman was driving a Toyota Prius northbound on American Avenue when she attempted to make a left turn onto southbound Buttonwillow Avenue.
At that moment, a 28-year-old man was traveling westbound on Buttonwillow Avenue in a Honda Accord, on a stretch of road with no traffic control at the intersection.

How to Claim Compensation When Someone Dies in a Head-On Collision
Losing a loved one in a head-on collision is a devastating experience. In addition to the emotional toll, families are often left with unexpected financial burdens such as funeral costs, medical bills, and lost income. If the crash was caused by another party’s negligence, you may be entitled to file a wrongful death claim and seek compensation.
To begin this process, it’s essential to work with experienced wrongful death attorneys who understand the complexities of California’s laws and can guide you through every step. A skilled head-on collision attorney can help determine liability, gather key evidence, and ensure that your family’s rights are fully protected.
