[09-03-2022] Fresno County, CA – Multiple Vehicle Struck by Hit-And-Run Semi-truck Driver in Kerman

According to the authorities, a semi-truck struck several cars injuring multiple people inside in a hit-and-run collision in Kerman Saturday, September 3, 2022.

The crash occurred at around 5:25 p.m. along Whitesbridge and Madera Avenues.

Vanessa H. was on her way to work when the semi-driver slammed into her car. He seemed to have lost his temper.

Hernandez says that the semi hit her car three times as she drove along Whitesbridge and Madera Avenues. In the last hit, she was pushed out onto the parking lot of a Carl’s Jr.

Hernandez says she has tried to get help from the police, but they haven’t been much help. She says that she went to the businesses in the area and asked for the surveillance videos.

After the accident, the semi-truck driver never stopped, so Hernandez had to pay for the damage.

Anyone who thinks they might know the logo on the truck should call the Kerman Police Department at (559) 846-6633.

Hit-and-run collisions are occurring more frequently. The number of fatalities caused by hit-and-run drivers has gone up 7% since 2009. More and more people are dying on the road as a result of hit-and-run incidents.

California experienced more hit-and-run fatalities during this time than any other state. California accounted for more than 20% of all traffic fatalities in the country, accounting for 3,056 fatalities and 2,948 injuries.

Car accident injuries can be extremely upsetting. When the other driver doesn’t pull over and admit fault for the collision, it could get even worse.
