1 killed in single-car crash in Fresno County, CHP says

FRESNO COUNTY, Calif. (KFSN) -- The California Highway Patrol is investigating a crash that's left a 27-year-old man from Kerman dead.

It was reported after 4:30 am Tuesday on Millerton Road, just past the town of Friant on the way to Table Mountain Casino.

A silver Honda Accord went off the road and rolled over, landing on its roof.

Officers say the man was heading west on Friant Road, as if you were going down the mountain.

That's when he skidded across the road and went about 50 feet down the embankment on the other side and hit a tree.

It's not yet known exactly when he crashed.

A passerby spotted the car this morning and called it in.

Officers say it appeared the driver was not wearing his seatbelt.

One lane of Millerton Road is still open to drivers needing to get by at this time.
