Fiery crash in northwest Fresno near Bullard and West leaves at least one dead KFSN The crash happened around 3:30 pm near Bullard and West. After hearing a boom, cosmologist Priscilla Perez walked out of Prestige Salon to the horrifying sight of flames erupting from a van turned on its side and a tower of black smoke going up into the air. "What is happening? Why are people panicking? Why are people screaming? I saw kids running," she says. Officers say this was the devastating aftermath of a welfare check turned police chase. It started about two miles away from the crash site at Marks and Browning.
