Fresno, CA (October 6, 2025) – A woman was hit by a car Monday morning at Clovis and Kings Canyon Avenues, prompting a closure of northbound Clovis Avenue, according to Fresno police.
Accident Details: Officers responded to the intersection of Clovis Avenue and Kings Canyon Avenue on reports that a woman had been struck by a vehicle. Police confirmed one person was hit; additional details about the vehicle involved and the extent of injuries had not been released as of the initial report. Northbound lanes on Clovis Avenue were closed while first responders rendered aid and investigators processed the scene. Commuters experienced delays as traffic was redirected around the closure.gm
Investigation: Fresno Police Department personnel are working to determine the circumstances leading up to the collision, including lane positions, traffic signal phases, and potential right-of-way issues at the intersection. Officials indicated that more information would be released as it becomes available. Witness statements and any nearby business or traffic-camera footage will be reviewed to reconstruct the sequence of events.
Legal Considerations: Pedestrian collisions at signalized intersections often turn on right-of-way, signal timing, and driver attentiveness. Injured pedestrians may have claims for medical costs, lost income, and other damages if negligence is shown. Preserving evidence—photos, contact information for witnesses, and medical documentation—can be critical to any future insurance claim or lawsuit.
This was a concerning scene for morning commuters and nearby residents. I hope the injured woman makes a full and swift recovery.
