Two men sustained injuries in a suspected DUI crash at Manning and Cornelia Avenues in Fresno County early Saturday morning, March 8, 2025.
The collision occurred just before 4:00 a.m. when a man driving a Nissan failed to stop at a stop sign and collided with a Chevy pickup truck that was heading east through the intersection.
The impact of the crash ejected the Chevy driver from his truck, causing him to land on the pavement. Meanwhile, the Nissan driver had to be extricated from his vehicle using the Jaws of Life.
Both drivers, who are in their 20s, were transported to the hospital for treatment. Officials reported that neither driver was wearing a seatbelt at the time of the crash.
Authorities arrested the Nissan driver for felony DUI. The crash remains under investigation.

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.
