Fresno County, California (Fresno, CA) – On April 6, 2022, a teenager from Clovis was killed when he was thrown from an SUV when a motorist failed to stop at a stop sign southeast of Fresno.
The teenager was identified as Gourav, 19-year-old, of Clovis. Officers do not have the exact details of the victim, they only have his surname. The victim was not wearing his seatbelt as he was at the right rear of the seat in a Toyota Rav4, traveling north on Temperance in North Avenues around 12:45 a.m.
At the crossing, North Avenue does not have a stop sign, but Temperance does. Benjamin Villa Fuerte, 48-year-old, of Fresno, proceeded north on Temperance nonstop, placing his Toyota Rav4 in the direction of a Toyota Corolla. Neither Villa Fuerte nor Corolla’s operator, Moises Mendoza, 21-year-old, of Fresno, were able to avoid the collision. Then the Corolla collided with Rav4’s passenger side. Both automobiles veered off the road and wound up in a dirt field. When Rav4 flipped over and threw the 19-year-old, he was declared dead on the spot.
Mendoza was transferred to Community Regional Medical Center after suffering serious injuries. According to the authorities, both drivers did not appear to be intoxicated, and no one was detained.
