Driver killed after broadside collision in Fresno County. Highway Patrol investigating

The driver of a 1996 Toyota Corolla died Saturday morning when he collided with a pickup near Kerman, the California Highway Patrol reported.

Sgt. Mike Salas said the crash took place around 9 a.m. as the unidentified 65-year-old Corolla driver was westbound on Kamm Avenue approaching Marks Avenue when he failed to yield for a stop sign at Marks.

He was broadsided by a 2015 Chevrolet pickup pulling a cattle trailer north on Marks. Drivers on Marks have the right-of-way. The 28-year-old driver of the pickup was unable to avoid the collision, and the Toyota driver died at the scene in Fresno County.
