Driver Arrested on Murder Charges in Fatal Fresno DUI Collision
A devastating collision late Friday night claimed the lives of two local teenagers in what authorities believe was a DUI-related crash. The Fresno Police Department confirmed that 18-year-old Maddux Greene and 19-year-old Jordan Galvez were the victims of the fatal accident that unfolded near the intersection of Clovis and Shields avenues.
The incident occurred around 11:30 p.m. when two vehicles collided under circumstances that remain under investigation. First responders were dispatched to the scene immediately after the crash. Tragically, Maddux Greene was pronounced dead at the scene due to the severity of his injuries. Jordan Galvez was transported to a nearby hospital in critical condition but later succumbed to his injuries despite lifesaving efforts.
Authorities arrested 28-year-old Jagat Singh of Fresno in connection with the crash. Singh is suspected of driving under the influence at the time of the collision and was allegedly operating a stolen vehicle. He now faces multiple serious charges, including murder, DUI causing death, and grand theft auto. Police have stated that additional charges may be added as the investigation progresses.
The crash sent shockwaves through the local community, especially among friends, family members, and classmates of the young victims. Both Greene and Galvez were known and loved in their circles, and their untimely deaths have left many grappling with grief and anger.
