One person was killed, and multiple others were injured following a multi-vehicle crash on the southbound lanes of Highway 99 between North and Cedar Avenues in Fresno on Sunday morning, January 11, 2026.
According to the California Highway Patrol, the crash was reported just after 9:15 a.m. and involved approximately 15 vehicles, including a semi-truck.
CHP said dense fog was believed to be a major factor, with visibility limited to less than an estimated 15 feet. Investigators stated that traffic in the number one and number two lanes slowed, and vehicles traveling behind were unable to stop in time, resulting in a chain-reaction collision. Injuries ranged from minor to moderate, though one person died at the scene.
Authorities said individuals with minor injuries were transported to area hospitals using a Fresno FAX bus.
No additional information is immediately available.
Don’t Know What To Do After An Accident?
Your safety and rights depend on what you do next after an accident. Remember the following steps if you find yourself in one:
- Check yourself for any injuries.
- Stay on the scene, call 9-1-1, and wait for emergency responders.
- Move your vehicle to the road shoulder if safe; turn on hazard lights.
- Fully cooperate with law enforcement and stay until cleared to leave.
- Document the scene and injuries with photos and videos.
- Seek immediate medical attention.
- Contact your insurance company and find a personal injury lawyer for legal advice.
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.
