Fresno, CA (December 15, 2024) – The Fresno County Sheriff’s Office has identified the victims of a fatal motorcycle crash that occurred Sunday evening as 15-year-old Antarpreet Singh and 14-year-old Harjap Singh, both from Fresno.
Accident Details: The crash occurred around 8 p.m. near Sunnyside and Byrd Avenues when the motorcycle the boys were riding collided with an Amazon delivery truck. Tragically, both teens were pronounced dead at the scene. The driver of the truck was uninjured. Authorities are investigating the cause of the crash.
Legal Considerations: As a personal injury attorney, I find that determining the cause of this tragic collision is essential to understanding potential liability. Investigators will likely examine driver behavior, speed, and right-of-way laws. The actions of the delivery truck driver—such as whether they were driving cautiously and adhering to traffic laws—will be scrutinized.
Additionally, road conditions, visibility, proper signage in the area, and the condition of the truck and motorcycle may play a role in the investigation. If any negligence is found, the families of Antarpreet Singh and Harjap Singh may have grounds for a wrongful death claim, which can provide compensation for funeral expenses and emotional distress.
I offer my deepest condolences to the families of Antarpreet Singh and Harjap Singh during this challenging time. I hope they find strength and support as they navigate this heartbreaking loss.
