San Antonio Man Arrested After 100 Car Pile Up in Fresno
November 05, 2007

A 62-year-old San Antonio resident was picked up after suspicions that his car was at the forefront of the massive 100 car pile up that occurred on California Highway 99 in Fresno. DUI was suspected to be the cause of the man's accident that is being looked at as a causal factor that led to the pile up, the worst on California Highway 99 in nearly 100 years.

The massive pileup occurred on Saturday and at least two people were killed in the accident. Both passengers, a 28-year-old man and a 5-year-old boy were in separate vehicles. 108 vehicles including 8 big rigs were involved in the mass collision which occurred at about 7.45 am over a two mile stretch of the highway. The weather was foggy and investigators have accounted for the bad weather as one of the causes of the crash. This DUI arrest has however cut a new angle to the story.

Dozens of people were trapped in their cars and had to be extricated. Rescue crews went to work cleaning the nearly 90 gallons of diesel fuel that leaked from the damaged tanks of trucks. The pile up occurred south of Fresno and authorities shut down northbound lanes of Highway 99, leading to a 3-mile-long traffic backup until late in the afternoon.
