Clovis, CA — Trevyn Mackey, a 16-year-old Clovis West High School football player, lost his life on Tuesday, November 26, 2024, following a crash the week before on Highway 168 in the Fresno County foothills, according to The Fresno Bee.
The accident occurred on Friday afternoon, November 22, 2024, around 3 PM as Trevyn was driving east on Highway 168 near Sample Road. Authorities say his vehicle veered off the road and struck a boulder. Trevyn, who was unlicensed at the time, was airlifted to Community Regional Medical Center, where he remained in critical condition until his passing.
A junior at Clovis West, Trevyn played football for his uncle, Eric Brown, and was known for his passion for the sport, his love of rap music, and his ability to light up any room he entered. His teammates, including his older brother JT Mackey, described him as a source of joy and energy, always lifting the spirits of those around him.
Clovis Unified School District released a statement offering condolences to the Mackey family and the school community, acknowledging the profound loss during the holiday season.
To support the Mackey family, friends have set up a GoFundMe to cover medical expenses and memorial costs.
Single-Vehicle Collisions and Comparative Negligence
In some cases, investigations may reveal that even in a single-vehicle accident, nearby drivers or unsafe road features share some responsibility.
California’s Comparative Negligence rule means that, even if those injured in accidents are found partially at fault, they may still be eligible to receive partial compensation for damages. A personal injury attorney can play a critical role in sorting through these details to help victims and their families get the compensation they deserve.
