A significant traffic incident occurred today at the intersection of East South Avenue and South Cedar Avenue in Fresno, California, involving two vehicles: a semi-truck and a white pickup truck. The collision took place around 1:29 PM when the semi-truck struck the pickup, which subsequently crashed into a nearby residence. Emergency services responded swiftly, implementing a hard closure of the intersection to manage the situation and ensure public safety.
Debris from the incident was cleared from the roadway, and while the status of injuries remains unknown, both drivers were reported to be out of their vehicles.
