Man Swerves To Avoid One Pedestrian, But Hits Another

Police in Central California say a driver’s split-second decision to avoid hitting a woman in the street ended in the death of a man on the sidewalk. The accident happened Sunday in the small community of Farmersville, 50 miles southeast of Fresno. Officers say that a man driving a car swerved to miss a woman crossing the street on foot. The driver lost control, traveling onto the sidewalk. Police say the car hit the man walking there, then went through a wrought iron fence before striking a power pole.
