Calwa, CA (August 7, 2025) — A motorcyclist was rushed to the hospital Tuesday afternoon following a serious collision in Fresno County that authorities are calling a “near-deadly crash.”

According to reports, the incident occurred just before 5:00 p.m. on August 5, 2025, at the intersection of Jensen Avenue and Pullman Street in the Calwa area. The California Highway Patrol stated that the motorcyclist had been traveling westbound on Jensen Avenue when a Toyota, heading eastbound, attempted to make a left-hand turn onto Pullman Street, cutting directly into the path of the motorcycle.

The resulting collision sent the rider to the hospital with injuries. Officials noted the man was wearing a helmet and full protective riding gear — a choice they say likely saved his life.

The driver of the Toyota remained at the scene and cooperated with investigators. CHP is using the incident as a reminder to all drivers to check twice for motorcycles, especially before turning at intersections.
