71-year-old Ken Heffner Injured in Big Rig Crash on Highway 99 [Kingsburg, CA]
Elderly Big Rig Driver Rescued After Rollover Crash on Highway 99 in Kingsburg
KINGSBURG, CA (January 6, 2021) – Police identified 71-year-old Ken Heffner as the driver who was injured in a big rig crash on Highway 99 on Wednesday.
According to the California Highway Patrol, the collision happened on the northbound lanes of the highway.
Based on a report, the semi that the victim was driving lost control. Subsequently, it turned on its side, breaking the windshield. Then, it slid down the shoulder of the freeway and dirt filled the cabin.
An off-duty Fresno police officer was on his way home when he saw the semi blocking all lanes going northbound. He quickly turned his emergency lights on, stopped his car, and hopped over the center dividers to join the group of people rushing to help.
As a result, Heffner suffered injuries in the incident. At this point, he is now recovering in the hospital.
The cause of the crash remains under investigation by the CHP.
