Fresno, CA — The Fresno man who was killed in a Kings County crash over the weekend has been identified as 23-year-old Fernando Mondragon, law enforcement officials announced on Thursday, May 30, 2024, according to The Fresno Bee.
The fatal crash occurred around 2:15 AM on Sunday, May 26, 2024, on Avenal Cutoff Road, south of 25th Avenue in the Lemoore area, according to the Kings County Coroner’s Office. Mondragon and his passenger were driving a blue Chevrolet Malibu northbound on Avenal Cutoff Road when their vehicle crossed the dividing line into the southbound lane, colliding head-on with a white Ford F-150, according to the California Highway Patrol (CHP).
Mondragon was pronounced dead at the scene. The driver of the Ford F-150 sustained major injuries and was airlifted to Community Regional Medical Center. The passenger in the Chevrolet also suffered major injuries and was airlifted to Kaweah Health Medical Center. There have been no immediate updates on their conditions.
Personal Injury Claims
After a vehicular accident, in addition to emotional distress, victims and their families can be overwhelmed with the sudden financial burdens of medical bills, loss of income due to recovery time, and, in unfortunate circumstances, burial fees.
The responsibility for these costs should fall upon those responsible for causing these injuries and their insurance provider. However, insurance companies will try to minimize the compensation for any claim they cannot deny, which is why having the help of a skilled personal injury attorney can prove crucial in ensuring justice for victims of vehicular accidents.
