The California Highway Patrol is investigating a deadly crash that killed one man and sent an alleged DUI driver to the hospital.

FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- An early morning crash in Fresno County turned deadly and officers say alcohol was a factor.

Just before 4 Saturday morning, the California Highway Patrol responded to Jensen and Marks Avenues for a crash.

Investigators say 24-year-old Angie Thao was driving northbound on Marks Avenue when she ran a stop sign at Jensen Avenue.

She drove directly into the path of a Nissan Truck with two adults and a child inside.

Thao had major injuries from the crash and was taken to the hospital. A 38-year-old man who was in the car with Thao died from his injuries.

The three people in the truck had minor injuries.

Police say Thao was under the influence of alcohol and will be placed under arrest.

The man who died has not been identified and the investigation is ongoing.
