Fresno County, CA (July 12, 2018) – According to a local news outlet, a truck accident on the I-5 Freeway resulted in injuries Wednesday near the Derick venue underpass. While the specific time was not reported, the accident was apparently caused by a tractor-trailer.
Reportedly, a large tractor-trailer overturned on the I-5 Freeway and caught fire almost immediately afterward. Emergency responders were quickly on the scene to attend to the victims who were hurt in the accident. While the mention of other vehicles that were apparently involved was excluded, three people reportedly suffered serious traumatic injuries as a result of the crash.
Neither the names nor the exact conditions of the parties involved were mentioned at this time. The events that led to this accident have not been made public, and no other information in regards to the wreck has been released. The southbound side of I-5 Freeway had to be shut down for over five hours following the accident. A detailed investigation into this injurious collision is currently ongoing.
