A hit-and-run incident occurred today at the intersection of East Adams Avenue and South Cherry Avenue in Fresno, California, involving two vehicles: a silver Nissan and a white Ford Expedition. The collision took place around 6:07 PM when the Nissan struck the Ford Expedition, which then collided with a nearby fence.
The driver of the silver Nissan fled the scene immediately after the impact, leading authorities to classify the incident as a hit-and-run with no reported injuries. The white Ford Expedition sustained minor damage but remained at the scene for further investigation. Fortunately, there were no injuries to the occupants of either vehicle.
Emergency services responded quickly to the incident, arriving shortly after the collision was reported. Upon arrival, officers noted that the Ford Expedition had been damaged and had also impacted a fence, which was left lightly dented. Investigators found paint transfer from the Nissan's bumper to the fence, confirming the nature of the collision.
Despite a thorough search for the fleeing Nissan, law enforcement was unable to locate the vehicle. It is believed that the Nissan may have entered an orchard located on the north side of the roadway.
The California Highway Patrol worked diligently to clear the scene, and all units had departed by 7:11 PM. The incident did not cause significant traffic disruption, but local drivers were advised to exercise caution in the area as the investigation continued.
This hit-and-run incident highlights the importance of road safety and accountability. The California Highway Patrol encourages anyone with information regarding the incident or the driver of the silver Nissan to come forward and assist in the ongoing investigation.
