Man killed in fiery rollover crash on Manning Avenue southwest of Fresno
A fiery rollover on Manning Avenue killed a Fresno man around 8 a.m., and CHP is probing the county-road crash.
A man died after a fiery rollover crash on Manning Avenue southwest of Fresno, with the California Highway Patrol leading the investigation. The collision happened around 8 a.m. on July 22, and the vehicle was described as fast-moving before it overturned and caught fire.
The Fresno County coroner's office identified the driver as 44-year-old Scott Beckwith of Fresno. CHP involvement points to a county road outside Fresno's city limits, where state traffic investigators handle serious collisions and work to reconstruct how a vehicle left the roadway.
Manning Avenue cuts through agricultural land southwest of the city, a corridor of open stretches where drivers often have more room to pick up speed and less margin when something goes wrong. In a rollover, that kind of loss of control can turn deadly fast, especially when the vehicle catches fire after impact.
The crash was not the first fatal wreck on the same road this summer. On June 22, GV Wire reported a separate head-on collision on Manning Avenue in Fresno County that killed one driver. Two deadly crashes on the corridor within about a month have put another local county route under a harsh spotlight, especially as CHP continues its investigation into this latest death.
