Dense Fog Triggers 59-Vehicle Pileup on Highway 99, Reopens Six Hours Later in Tulare County

A 59-vehicle pileup on Highway 99 near Avenue 24 in Tulare County prompted a full closure that lasted about six hours due to dense fog reducing visibility to roughly 100–200 feet. Ten people were injured (nine minor, one moderate forehead injury), with others transported to the Tulare Ag Center. CHP credited a rapid, coordinated response that cleared debris and reopened the highway; an earlier social-media estimate of up to 150 vehicles was corrected as the count stood at 59. Investigators say fog was a contributing factor, and drivers are urged to slow down as more fog is expected.

LAFD Recruit Killed in Non-Hit-and-Run Freeway Crash

The California Highway Patrol has stated that the crash that killed LAFD recruit Jacob Fuerte on the 101 Freeway was not a hit-and-run as initially reported.

No suspects or vehicles are unaccounted for, and no arrests have been made as the investigation continues. Fuerte, the son of a veteran firefighter/paramedic, was mourned by the LAFD and the city of Los Angeles.
