Unidentified Male Driver Killed in Rear-End Collision near Bethel Avenue
SANGER, CA (June 16, 2023) – Early Wednesday morning, one man was killed in a rear-end accident on Highway 180.
Officers responded to the scene around 3:00 a.m., along Highway 180, just west of Bethel Avenue.
Upon arrival, officers determined that an eastbound Dodge Charger rear-ended a Honda Odyssey. Upon impact, the Odyssey veered off the road and into a tree where it became engulfed in flames.
