Jonathan Harper Hit and Killed by Vehicle in Fresno

Fresno, CA (April 14, 2024) – A tragic accident occurred earlier this month when a man was fatally struck by a vehicle on a Fresno road, as confirmed by the Fresno County Coroner’s Office.

Incident Overview: The incident took place just before 10:30 p.m. near the intersection of Blackstone Avenue and Ashlan Avenue. The victim, identified as 36-year-old Jonathan Harper of Fresno, allegedly ran across the roadway when he was hit by an oncoming vehicle. Responding officers found Harper in the roadway, suffering from serious injuries. He was quickly transported to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead shortly after his arrival.

Investigation and Legal Implications: Witness accounts indicate that Harper ran across the road. However, the other circumstances behind the collision are still unclear. The ongoing police investigation will likely focus on the facts leading up to the accident, including the speed of the vehicle, the lighting at the location, and whether any road safety laws were violated. Depending on these factors, there could be evidence of negligence by multiple parties. Even in situations like this, the surviving family could consider pursuing a wrongful death claim for their loss.

My thoughts are with the family and friends of Jonathan Harper during this difficult time. I hope that the investigation is able to uncover more information about the events leading up to the accident.
