Tulare, CA (January 7, 2026) – A major multi-vehicle crash took place on W Cross Ave near the J St and I St intersections in Tulare on Saturday evening, injuring several individuals and causing major traffic disruptions in the vicinity. The incident was reported at approximately 6:08 p.m. which prompted a major emergency response from Tulare Fire Department units, including Engines 61 and 62, Truck 65, and Battalion 68. Emergency dispatch audio indicates the incident possibly involved a pin-in scenario, with two or three people suffering minor to moderate injuries. One individual reportedly tried to run away from the scene on foot. Firefighters arrived to discover at least one vehicle blocking the middle of the road, restricting access and forcing traffic to be rerouted. Initially, at least one victim was reported trapped in a vehicle, leading to rescue operations to extract them safely. The California Highway Patrol was alerted but encountered delays owing to a shift change. Meanwhile, Tulare responders cordoned off the area and started assessing the injured medically. One person sustained moderate injuries, while others received treatment on-site or refused medical transport. Police are still probing the incident, including the conduct of the suspect who fled. Further updates will be provided as more details emerge. Our thoughts are with the injured from this collision, and we wish for a complete recovery for all involved.
