FRESNO, CA (January 23, 2023) – Early Thursday morning, police responded to a high-speed crash that claimed the life of Terry Bowlin Jr.

The incident happened on January 19th at around 1:50 a.m., when police saw a BMW traveling eastbound on Highway 186 at high speeds.

According to police, the driver, later identified as 46-year-old Bowling Jr., was irregularly driving at high speeds.
