28-year-old man dies after motorcycle crash in Clovis

A 28-year-old Fresno man has died following a motorcycle accident last month in Clovis.

The Fresno County Sheriff-Coroner’s Office said Friday that Jesse Hurford died Wednesday following the Sept. 25 crash.

The accident happened shortly before 4 p.m. in the 300 block of Minnewawa Avenue, a couple streets north of Bullard Avenue, said Ty Wood, a spokesman for the Clovis Police Department.

Hurford was traveling southbound on Minnewawa on a motorcycle when he collided with another vehicle that was turning left into a driveway, Wood said. The driver of the other vehicle, headed northbound, remained on scene and is cooperating with authorities. The accident remains under investigation.

“Speed and right-of-way are both possible factors that we are still investigating,” Wood said.

Investigators are still working to determine if alcohol or drugs were involved.
