The female driver of the car was driving north on Blackstone and trying to turn left onto Sierra when it hit the pedestrian in the road, Fresno Police Lt. Larry Bowlan revealed.

Bowlan also revealed that the female driver was cleared from the influence of drugs or alcohol.

The involved vehicle was parked in a turning lane near the Blackstone and Sierra intersection when police came. It is not certain whether the crash was caused by the rainy weather. However, Bowlan stated that the area was dark and the rain was pouring during the incident.
