Roadway fatality

A motorcycle rider killed Saturday night in Fresno County was identified Monday by the Fresno County Coroner as Terry Friesen, 63, of Fresno.

Friesen died in a head-on collision about 11:05 p.m on Millerton Road, west of Winchell Cove and east of Table Mountain Casino, according to California Highway Patrol spokesman Mike Salas.

The CHP said Friesen’s westbound Harley-Davidson crossed into the eastbound lane of Millerton and collided with a Chrysler driven by a 37-year-old woman.

Friesen was thrown from the motorcycle and died at a hospital.

Three people in the Chrysler suffered minor injuries.
