A second victim has died after a major injury collision Friday morning south of Fresno.

Efrain Hernandez, 34, and Alejo Jeronimo Moreno, 32, have been identified as the two men killed in the collision on Highway 41 and Floral Avenue, near Easton, according to Fresno County Sheriffs Office on Monday. The coroner’s office did not have hometowns available for either.

The California Highway Patrol reported that around 8:30 a.m. Friday a Ford F-150 truck driven by a 17-year-old was northbound on the highway with visibility about 150 feet. As the driver approached Floral, Hernandez was riding in an eastbound Chevrolet van that drove into the path of the pickup, which broadsided the van.

Alejo, who was also a passenger in the van, was ejected and sustained critical injuries. He was pronounced dead at the hospital on Monday. Hernandez was pronounced dead at the scene.

The driver of the truck was not injured, the CHP said.
