Fresno, CA ( August 10, 2021 ) – Saturday morning, Jeanette Ward, 31, died after a DUI crash in Fresno.
The crash took place just after 1:30 a.m. on northbound lanes of Highway 99 near Clinton Avenue, as stated by the report.
According to the authorities, Ward was running across a busy highway when she got struck by an allegedly drunk driver, causing her death.

The motorist who was involved in the accident remained on the site and was discovered to be driving under the influence.
