Multiple Fatal Crashes Involving Semi-Trucks

Multiple fatal crashes occurred over the weekend involving both passenger vehicles and semi-trucks. In Madera County, a suspected DUI led to a five-vehicle collision, causing one death and several injuries. Early Sunday morning, a semi-truck driver died after rear-ending another semi and rolling over in Iron County, Utah. On Friday morning, a collision involving a semi-truck on I-5 in Santa Clarita resulted in the death of 24-year-old Roberto Flores. Later that evening, 51-year-old Kevin Gately Jr. was killed in Lancaster when his sedan was found wedged under a semi-truck. These incidents underline ongoing concerns about road safety and the critical impact of impaired driving and heavy vehicle collisions.
