IDENTIFIED: 87-year-old couple killed in crash north of Fresno
While a Drug Recognition Expert evaluation ruled out impairment, CHP says “marijuana and the odor of marijuana were detected inside the vehicle.”
Officers say 21-year-old Lazaro Hernandez was driving a Dodge Durango on a suspended license, going approximately 70 mph east on Auberry Road, when he approached a curve and crossed over the lanes directly into the path of a Kia Soul.
The impact killed both occupants, a man and a woman who officers say were in their late 80s. Both were pronounced dead at the scene.
