CHP - Fresno

Battle of the Badges rolled into the CHP Fresno office. The Central California Blood Center stopped by for an important mission, saving lives.

Officers, professional staff, and public safety dispatchers teamed up to give the gift of life through blood donation. Every donation has the potential to help trauma patients, cancer patients, accident victims, and so many others throughout the Central Valley.

Now we challenge our community to join in and donate on behalf of their favorite badge. Friendly competition is fun, but the real win is helping save lives right here in our community.

Smoldering remains of a Tesla after an early morning fiery crash on Millerton Road.

A driver reportedly fell asleep behind the wheel, drifted off the roadway, struck a tree, and overturned, leaving the vehicle fully engulfed in flames.

A State Parks employee located the driver and helped them escape by carrying her through burning grass to an arriving ambulance as flames spread around the crash scene.

Thanks to the quick actions of the State Parks employee and emergency responders, the driver was treated at the scene airlifted with major injuries.

The crash also sparked a five-acre vegetation fire before crews were able to contain it.

Falling asleep behind the wheel can be just as dangerous as driving impaired. If you’re tired, pull over. No destination is worth risking your life over.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the injured driver.
