US EditionPrayers Pouring In After 'Horrific' Deadly 17-Car Pileup Sunday
Dense fog with visibility of 10 to 15 feet caused a chain-reaction crash involving 17 vehicles, resulting in one death and multiple injuries, CHP said.
- On Sunday morning, the California Highway Patrol reported a 17-vehicle pile-up on southbound Highway 99 in Fresno, killing one person and injuring several.
- CHP says dense fog limited visibility to 10 to 15 feet, and two slowed vehicles triggered a chain-reaction collision on Sunday.
- Multiple agencies and emergency crews responded, deploying multiple ambulances and a Fresno FAX bus, as the crash involved a commercial travel trailer and a big rig truck.
- Highway 99 is closed for several hours while the California Highway Patrol investigates, and drivers are urged to use alternate routes as the closure is expected into the afternoon.
- Nearly 20 years ago a 100-vehicle crash killed two and sent 39 to hospital, and officials said this incident tested CHP and Fresno Fire Department crews' experience, which Battalion Chief Lupe Fernandez said helped.
