A woman more than 100 years old was killed Thursday afternoon in a two-vehicle crash at the intersection of Auberry Road and Old Millerton Road, according to the California Highway Patrol.
The crash was reported at about 12:45 p.m.
Investigators said an 18-year-old Clovis woman driving a Toyota sedan eastbound on Old Millerton Road failed to stop at a posted stop sign before entering the intersection, where her vehicle was struck by a northbound Nissan sedan driven by an 88-year-old Prather man.
Both vehicles traveled off the roadway and came to rest against an embankment.
A female passenger seated in the right rear of the Nissan, who was more than 100 years old, suffered fatal injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene.
The Toyota driver was airlifted to Community Regional Medical Center with major injuries. The Nissan driver was injured, and two passengers in the Nissan were transported by ambulance with moderate to major injuries.
Investigators said alcohol and drugs do not appear to have been factors in the crash.
The collision remains under investigation.
