Clovis Man Died in Motorcycle Crash

A 51-year-old Clovis man was killed in a motorcycle accident on the afternoon of July 16, 2019. The crash occurred around 5:40 p.m. along Highway 168 near Shaver Lake. A preliminary report by the California Highway Patrol (CHP) suggested that a 19-year-old was driving a Dodge Caravan in the area and stopped to make a U-turn in the westbound lane. The Dodge reportedly entered the path of a motorcycle rider, who did not have enough time to react to avoid a crash. The biker was propelled off his motorcycle and into the side of the Dodge. First responders were called to the scene to render aid to the injured motorcyclist. Sadly, he was pronounced deceased at the scene by emergency personnel. The motorcycle rider has been identified as Central Unified School District Chief Business Officer, Kelly Porterfield. A GoFundMe page has been created on behalf of Mr. Porterfield’s family to help them through this challenging time.

Fresno Motorcycle Accidents

Riding a motorcycle can be a great way to get around. Whether or not you are taking a ride through the Sierra Nevadas for pleasure or using your bike to get where you need to go on a regular basis, motorcyclists get to enjoy the benefits of fresh air and reduced gas prices. However, it is well known that riding a motorcycle also comes with the risk of being seriously injured in the event of an accident. Because motorcyclists don’t have the same protection that vehicle occupants do, crashes that would have otherwise been minor can have severe consequences. While avoiding an accident isn’t always possible, motorcyclists in Fresno can increase their safety by learning about motorcycle accidents in their city.
