FRESNO COUNTY, Calif. (KFSN) — The California Highway Patrol says weather was a factor in a crash in Fresno County that left a 12-year-old boy dead.
He has been identified as Ian Brady.
It happened Saturday just after 6 pm on Highway 99, north of Clovis Avenue.
Officers say the 40-year-old driver was headed southbound on a road slick from rainfall when his Ram pickup veered down a grass embankment and collided with a wire fence.
The truck then rolled over, and Brady, who was not wearing a seatbelt, was thrown from the vehicle.
He died at the scene. The driver and two other 14-year-old passengers were taken to the hospital with injuries.
Officials believe speed and weather conditions contributed to the crash.
