KINGS COUNTY, CA (April 6, 2021) – Three people were killed in a car accident on Highway 43 Thursday night, April 1.
 
The crash happened around 6:20 p.m. just north of Nevada Avenue, a few miles from Corcoran. According to the California Highway Patrol, a Toyota 4Runner was traveling southbound at a high rate of speed approaching a Chevrolet Tahoe heading in the opposite direction. CHP officials said there were three children in the Chevrolet.
 
The driver of the Toyota crossed over into the path of the Chevrolet. The driver of the Chevrolet tried to avoid hitting the Toyota but the vehicles collided head-on.
