Update: Man killed in two-vehicle crash near Kerman identified as 27-year-old Fresno man

A man died Sunday morning after a two-vehicle collision south of Kerman that sent two infants to the hospital.

The California Highway Patrol responded to the collision at 11:37 a.m. in the intersection of Goldenrod and Jensen avenues.

CHP spokesman Mike Salas said a man was driving a Toyota Tundra south on Goldenrod approaching the intersection with Jensen. A Dodge Ram, driven by a woman, was traveling east on Jensen.

CHP said the Tundra drove into the intersection without stopping for the posted stop sign controlling Goldenrod and collided with the front right of the Toyota into the left front of the Dodge, Salas said.

The collision caused both vehicles to overturn south of the intersection into a vineyard.

The man was pronounced dead at the scene. He was identified Monday by the Fresno County Coroner’s Office as Roberto Vasquez II, 27, of Fresno.

The woman and her two infants were taken to a hospital with minor injuries.

Alcohol or drugs do not seem to be a factor, Salas said.
