FRESNO, CA (April 20, 2023) — Ana Ortega died in a pedestrian accident on Clinton Avenue and Bethel Avenue.
 
According to the Fresno County coroner, 51-year-old Ortega passed away at the scene of the crash. For an unknown reason, an off-duty Clovis police officer was driving a pickup truck when he struck Ortega who was walking her dog in the opposite direction.
 
The unidentified officer pulled over and performed CPR until paramedics arrived around 8:00 a.m. However, rescue efforts fell short, and Ortega perished at the scene. Her dog survived the crash and was brought to Fresno County’s SPCA with major injuries.
