Kenneth Owens Accident – A close-knit family in Fresno County is experiencing excruciating pain after one of their own, 38-year-old Kenneth Owens, was killed in a terrible incident.
While operating a Go-Kart on Mountain View Avenue close to Peach Avenue on Saturday morning, Owens was tragically hit by a car in an area he had lived in and was familiar with.
When the California Highway Patrol (CHP) arrived on the location in response to emergency calls, Owens was not responding. He was declared dead at the crash scene despite their best attempts.
According to reports, the driver in the crash was operating a Toyota Tacoma pickup truck. Authorities are searching for the driver who, in their opinion, failed to halt following the collision, which raises serious issues.
Spokesman for the CHP Mike Salas said it is quite improbable the motorist was not aware of the incident. Salas said, “There’s absolutely no way in our mind that the party did not know they hit somebody or something,” implying that the truck’s front end would probably have noticeable damage from the collision.
The driver of the Toyota Tacoma is being charged with two felonies, hit-and-run and vehicular manslaughter, while the investigation is ongoing. In the neighborhood, where Owens was well-known and adored by many, the incident has shocked the community.
His sister, Rachelle Resendez, expressed her profound grief and the profound loss experienced by those acquainted with her brother. Owens’s relatives and friends have warm memories of the man who worked at Hobb’s Grove in the fall, especially around Halloween, and who made people happy.
He’s received a lot of messages from friends and relatives, including close cousins and brothers. Thus, it has undoubtedly had a significant impact on a large number of people, Resendez said, her voice brimming with emotion. She said her brother was a very involved member of the community and would drive his Go-Kart, which is not meant for street use, around the neighborhood where he lived.
There will always be a gap left by Owens’ passing. Resendez thought back to her early years with her brother, remembering how he had taught her how to ride a bike and climb trees. These treasured memories now act as a melancholic reminder of their relationship. Resendez described their sibling bond vividly, saying, “He’s actually the one who taught me how to ride a bike, taught me how to climb trees, get in every ounce of trouble we could, so a lot of good memories with him.”
