FRESNO, Calif. (KMJ/KFSN) — The woman who was killed in a fiery crash in northeast Fresno has been identified.
The Fresno County Coroner’s Office says she is 21-year-old Khushmeet Mahal of Fresno.
The deadly crash happened at the intersection of Friant and Shepherd just before 2 a.m. Friday, May 9.
Cameras captured Mahal’s speeding BMW launching into the air and landing in a city work yard, with smoke billowing from the burning wreckage.
