FRESNO, CA (September 16, 2018) – A hit-and-run driver caused the untimely death of 43-year-old Gavin Gladding, a Clovis Unified vice principal.
 
As per reports, the incident happened in the early morning hours of September 16, 2018. Gladding was training for a marathon on Friant Road when a vehicle, driven by 18-year-old Rogelio Alvarez Maravilla, struck him.
