FRESNO, CA (November 12, 2021) – A multi-vehicle collision on 7th Street killed Andres Ramirez Orozco early Monday morning.
Around 1:00 a.m., a VW Jetta and Toyota Camry were heading eastbound on Shaw Avenue from First Street at a high rate of speed. There, a third vehicle pulled out in front of them.
