Torem & Associates

Fresno, CA (December 20, 2021) – A man was hospitalized after he was hit by a truck in southeast Fresno on Monday afternoon, December 20. Police in Fresno say he was waiting at a bus stop at the time of the wreck. 

The bus stop was located near Kings Canyon and Chestnut Avenue, according to information provided by officials. The driver of a truck reportedly lost control, left the roadway and struck the man. 

 When paramedics arrived on-site, the man was bleeding from the head and promptly transported to an area medical center for treatment. His name has not been released at this time. 

Authorities stated that the truck driver is cooperating with the investigation into the circumstances of the incident. We hope for the full recovery of the injured victim. 

Auto Collisions in California

The major cities of California have recently seen an alarming increase in pedestrian collisions and deaths. Speeding, smartphones, and an increase in the amount of vehicles on the road are all factors that have contributed to this unfortunate spike. Unlike regular vehicle collisions, pedestrian crashes almost always result in catastrophic or deadly injuries for victims. 

Those who sustain injuries in pedestrian accidents are usually forced to deal with pain and suffering, steep medical bills, lengthy recovery periods/hospital stays, and lost income. 

Pedestrians who are injured in collisions are also faced with an arduous mental toll that can have a seriously negative impact on their quality of life.
