The Earlimart man, 54 to 56 years old, was traveling westbound in a 2001 Chevy vehicle, on Wright Avenue.  The Chevrolet drove through the intersection of Wright and Elm Street, and crashed into a 2011 GMC pickup truck.

The pickup truck, driven by Juan Lopez, 24 years old, was headed north on Elm Street, and had the right-of-way.
