Original Story
A Reedley man died after being struck by two vehicles while walking along Manning Avenue Monday night, authorities said.
The California Highway Patrol said the crash happened around 8:35 p.m. east of Englehart Avenue.
A 31-year-old man was walking in the eastbound lane when he was hit by a Hyundai Elantra driven by a 22-year-old woman, also heading eastbound.
CHP officials said darkness on the roadway likely contributed to the driver being unable to see the pedestrian in time.
After the initial collision, the man was left lying in the roadway and was struck again by a Honda Accord driven by a 27-year-old woman, who also could not avoid hitting him, investigators said.
Emergency crews responded to the scene, and the man was airlifted by Skylife Helicopter to Community Regional Medical Center in Fresno with major injuries. He later died at the hospital.
CHP said neither drugs nor alcohol appear to be factors in the crash, though toxicology results for the pedestrian are pending.
