Honda Civic Driver Lisandro Santos Dies in Highway 99 Collision [Tulare County, CA]

Tulare County, CA (April 26, 2024) – 21-year-old Lisandro Santos was killed in a Highway 99 collision early Wednesday morning.

It was about 3:10 a.m. when the authorities received a report about a wrong-way driver north of Betty Drive.

Responding officers said 20-year-old Saul Saldana Armenta from Fresno was driving a southbound 2015 Dodge Charger in the freeway’s northbound lanes approaching Betty Drive.

As a result, the wrong-way driver collided with a 2022 Honda Civic driven by 21-year-old Lisandro Santos from Porterville.

Unfortunately, Santos succumbed to his crash injuries days before his 22nd birthday.

CHP officers said alcohol appeared to be a factor and arrested Armenta under suspicion of driving under the influence.

Meanwhile, here is a GoFundMe link to help the family of the deceased.
