TULARE, CA (April 29, 2025)  — A man was killed and another injured late Tuesday night when a minivan collided with a construction vehicle in an active work zone on Highway 99, according to the California Highway Patrol’s Visalia office.

The fatal crash occurred around 11:30 p.m. just north of Bardsley Avenue. Authorities said the driver of a Nissan minivan was heading southbound in the number two lane when his vehicle struck the rear of a construction vehicle operated by a worker subcontracted by Caltrans.

CHP officials stated the front of the Nissan slammed into the right rear of the construction vehicle. Emergency crews responded to the scene and transported the minivan driver to Adventist Health Tulare, where he later died from his injuries. The construction worker sustained minor injuries and was treated at the scene.

The CHP’s Multidisciplinary Accident Investigation Team is leading the investigation. It remains unclear whether the construction vehicle was obstructing the traffic lane or if the minivan veered into the work zone.

Witnesses are encouraged to contact the Visalia CHP office at (559) 734-6767 as the investigation continues.
