Two killed when car collides with pickup in Fresno County, CHP says

Two senior citizens were killed Tuesday in a two-vehicle collision near Huron, and three other people were injured, the California Highway Patrol reported.

The crash took place around noon.

Pedro Rosas, 50, of Huron was driving a 2019 Dodge Ram east on Laurel Avenue when he came to a stop at the Avenal Cutoff Road.

The CHP said Rosas then attempted a southbound turn onto Avenal Cutoff, but drove into the path of a 2014 Honda.

Jesus Arrellano, 28, of Avenal, was the driver of the Honda and tried to steer left to avoid Rosas’ Dodge.

But the two vehicles collided.

A man and a woman in the Honda, both 67, died at the scene.

Another woman passenger in the Honda, 62, was taken to Community Regional Medical Center in Fresno with major injuries.

And a 77-year-old man in the Honda was taken to Kaweah Delta Medical Center with unspecified injuries.

Rosas, the driver of the pickup, was taken to Adventist Medical Center in Hanford, also with unspecified injuries.
