25-year-old Clovis man ID’d by coroner after he was struck by vehicle in Fresno County
The Fresno County Coroner’s Office identified a 25-year-old man who was struck and killed by a vehicle.
Kaiden Bailey of Clovis was killed July 31 when a Toyota Sienna minivan was going southbound Fowler Avenue, south of Perrin Road at 45 miles per hour. Bailey was standing in the southbound lane, near the middle of the roadway, the California Highway Patrol said.
A vehicle stopped in the northbound lane, next to Bailey. As the Toyota passed by the stopped vehicle, the left front corner of the Toyota collided with Bailey.
The impact caused Bailey to go airborne in a southerly direction, CHP said.
Bailey was pronounced dead at the scene.
The driver remained on scene.
Alcohol or drugs don’t appear to be a factor in the collision.
The collision came days before another fatal happened in the same area.
Buchanan High student Sandro Lazo, 16, of Clovis was on his bicycle traveling west on Perrin. As he approached the stop sign, he made a southbound turn onto Fowler directly in front of an oncoming vehicle that did not have a stop sign and struck Lazo.
Lazo, who was wearing a helmet, died at the hospital.
