41-Year-Old Fresno Man Pronounced Dead after Bicycle Collision near Shields Avenue

FRESNO, CA (September 18, 2024) – Early Friday morning, Luciano Becerra Garcia was fatally struck in a bicycle accident on Highway 41.

California Highway Patrol responded to the scene around 4:45 a.m., just north of Shields Avenue. 

Investigators say the driver of a northbound Chevrolet Impala failed to notice the bicyclist ahead. As a result, the Chevy collided with the bicycle.

The impact sent the bicyclist into the traffic lanes, blocking two lanes of the highway. In addition, the 19-year-old male driver of the Chevy pulled over and remained at the scene.

Medical responders transported the bicyclist to a local hospital where he eventually succumbed to his injuries. 

The Fresno County coroner’s office later identified the deceased bicyclist as 41-year-old Luciano Becerra Garcia. 

More information regarding the fatal bicycle accident will be released by the Fresno County officials once the investigation has concluded.
