FRESNO, CA (September 5, 2022) – Two young adults were killed in a DUI accident on Highway 99 in Fresno early Saturday morning, September 3.
The accident happened just before 5:00 a.m. near McKinley Avenue. According to the California Highway Patrol, a 21-year-old man in a 2015 Hyundai made an unsafe lane change that caused its right, rear of the vehicle to collide with the left, front of a 2001 Mitsubishi.
