Man fails to stop at Fresno County intersection and dies in two-car crash, CHP says
A 71-year-old man drove through a stop sign and was killed in a two-car crash Saturday afternoon in rural Fresno County, the California Highway Patrol said.
The man was identified Monday by the Fresno County Coroner’s Office as Gurnam Singh of Fresno.
The collision happened about 3:30 p.m., at South Brawley and West Lincoln avenues west of Easton.
Singh was driving a brown Nissan Altima northbound on Brawley when he failed to heed the posted stop sign at Lincoln and entered the intersection, CHP spokesman Mike Salas said.
The car struck a Ford Expedition going west on Lincoln, which does not have stop signs in that area.
Singh was pronounced dead at the scene.
Three people in the SUV suffered minor injuries — the male driver, 46, and two passengers, a woman, age 45, and a 4-year-old girl. They were taken to Community Regional Medical Center.
