Torem & Associates

Fresno, CA (August 19, 2021) – Two vehicles that were street racing down a Fresno roadway collided with a third vehicle on Thursday, August 19th, causing it to overturn. 

The crash took place at about 5:00 p.m. at the intersection of Normal Avenue and Fresno Street when, according to officers, the two racing vehicles were heading southbound from Clinton and Fresno. 

One of the racing vehicles crashed into a third vehicle as it pulled out into the street.

Reports show that the driver of the non-striking vehicle fled the scene.

Officers stated that children inside one of the vehicles sustained injuries and were transported by ambulance to a local hospital. 

No other injuries were reported.

Our thoughts are with the injured victim and their family at this time. We hope for their full recovery.

Car Accidents in Fresno

Although we can take proactive measures toward ensuring we do not harm other motorists sharing the roads with us, there is no way to guarantee that other drivers will be as considerate. Regrettably, drivers cause life-changing accidents in our state every day. In fact, more than 410 people sustain injuries from automobile accidents across California daily. These accidents add up to more than 150,000 people harmed in some way by auto accidents each year. 

When victims are injured in accidents as a result of negligent drivers, they should consult with a car accident attorney in Fresno as soon as possible. Working with a skilled and aggressive legal team in the aftermath of your crash can make an enormous difference in your ability to recover. 

While many of these accidents result in minor injuries for those involved, tens of thousands of people are forced into area hospitals where they have to undergo extensive medical treatment for their injuries. In some cases, victims have to stay off work for several months as they go through therapy and endure the long and painful recovery process. It would be nice if everyone was able to overcome their injuries, thousands of people are left with permanent impairments each year as a result of their injuries.
