Just after 3:00 AM on September 1, our communications center received a 911 call about a single-vehicle collision at Clovis/Jefferson involving a motorcycle. According to the preliminary investigation and city cameras in the area, officers determined the motorcyclist was seen leaving the downtown Clovis area around 2:50 AM. While traveling southbound on Clovis Ave approaching a slight curve, the motorcyclist collided with a telephone pole. He sustained major injuries and was transported to CRMC. At this time, we believe that alcohol was a factor in this collision.
The Fresno County Coroner’s Office has identified the motorcyclist as 26-year-old Michael Yepez of Fresno. Our Collision Reconstruction Unit continues to investigation this fatal collision.
