A 38-year-old woman was killed in a two-vehicle crash involving a Hummer and a Chevy Malibu at Kings Canyon and Del Rey Avenue in Fresno on Sunday morning, May 25, 2025.
According to the California Highway Patrol, officers responded to the collision at around 11:55 a.m. involving a green Hummer H2 traveling westbound and a white Chevy Malibu traveling eastbound.
Authorities said the Malibu attempted a left-hand turn to head northbound on Del Rey Avenue and entered the intersection. The 72-year-old male driver of the Hummer reportedly applied the brakes but was unable to stop in time, resulting in a collision.
The impact forced the Malibu in a northwest direction, striking the right-side mirror of a Sanger Police officer’s motorcycle. The officer, who was monitoring traffic speeds, was uninjured.
Emergency personnel administered life-saving efforts to the driver of the Malibu, but she was pronounced dead at the scene. The driver of the Hummer sustained minor injuries but did not require hospitalization.
The crash remains under investigation, and it is unknown at this time whether drugs or alcohol were contributing factors.

What A Lawyer Can Do For You
Many victims put off calling a lawyer even if they sustain injuries after an accident. However, lawyers can help you in many ways. They can provide you with police reports, CCTV footage, and witness statements to strengthen your case. Your attorney will also negotiate with insurance companies to get you fair compensation. The best part is that they will do all of these things for you at no upfront cost. So if you’re injured in an accident, hire a personal injury attorney to recover medical bills, car repair costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
