Fresno, CA – On the night of Wednesday, February 14, 2024, the crash of a Utility Task Vehicle (UTV) at Hyde Park killed a woman now identified as 22-year-old Esperanza Nunez, according to FOX26.
Officers of the Fresno Police Department arrived at the scene of the solo-vehicle collision to find Nunez and a yet-unnamed man in his mid-20s near Fruit and California Avenues. Nunez was unresponsive and transported to a local hospital by EMS after life-saving measures were attempted. She did not survive her injuries.
Investigations continue into what may have caused the crash as well as which of the two was in control of the vehicle as the time of the crash. Driver impairment is believed to have played a factor.
Wrongful Death and Personal Injury Claims
The liability insurance that drivers carry is intended to cover passengers within their vehicle as well as those without. When the actions of a reckless driver result in the death or injury of someone they know personally, it can bring up conflicted feelings within surviving victims or families of the deceased.
Calling upon the services of a personal injury attorney can help by bringing an impartial third party experienced in just these sort of situations. They can relieve victims and their families of this difficult emotional burden and also negotiate with insurance companies to secure proper compensation.
