A traffic collision in northeast Fresno Friday morning left a Toyota minivan overturned after it collided with a Dodge Challenger at a busy intersection, police said.
The crash happened around 8 a.m. at the intersection of Fresno Street and Nees Avenue. Authorities said the woman driving the minivan and the man driving the Dodge were involved in a collision that caused the minivan to roll over and come to rest on its roof.
Photos from the scene showed significant damage to both vehicles. The minivan appeared to have sustained side-impact damage, while the Dodge Challenger showed damage to its front end. The positioning of the vehicles and the visible damage suggested a forceful impact, though investigators have not yet determined how the collision occurred.
Emergency responders arrived shortly after the crash and assessed both drivers at the scene. Police said injuries did not appear to be life-threatening, though the extent of those injuries was not immediately clear. No additional vehicles were reported to be involved.
Traffic at the intersection was affected for a period of time as officers secured the area and crews worked to clear the damaged vehicles from the roadway. The overturned minivan required special equipment to be righted and removed safely.
Authorities said the cause of the crash remains under investigation. No information was released about whether speed, traffic signals, or other factors may have contributed to the collision. Police also did not say whether any citations had been issued as of Friday morning.
The crash serves as a reminder of the risks associated with busy intersections during peak commute hours, particularly when traffic volumes are higher and visibility or timing issues can quickly lead to serious accidents.
Police said they will continue reviewing evidence from the scene, including vehicle damage and roadway conditions, as part of the ongoing investigation. Further updates are expected once investigators determine what led to the collision.
Both vehicles were towed from the intersection, and traffic was gradually restored after cleanup operations were completed.
