One dead in Highway 41 crash in Fresno. Driver may be tied to earlier hit-and-run
A 42-year-old Fresno man was killed in a crash Sunday night on Highway 41, south of Fresno. Authorities believe the car may have been involved in an earlier hit-and-run. According to the California Highway Patrol, the car, a Toyota Camry, was speeding south on Highway 41, when it made an “abrupt steering movement to the left. The vehicle crossed the center median and southbound lanes, and entered the west shoulder, where it overturned.” The driver wasn’t wearing a seat belt and was ejected during the crash. He was found “underneath the vehicle and was pronounced deceased at the scene,” the CHP said Monday in a news release on Monday. While investigating the crash, the CHP was told that a vehicle with a similar description had been alerted by the Fresno Police Department in an earlier hit-and-run. “The possible connection remains under investigation,” as does the crash itself, the CHP said. It is unknown if alcohol or drugs contributed to the crash. Toxicology results are pending.

A new coffee shop is headed for the Tower District — and Tower regulars may already have tried its coffee. Mirror Coffee , a pop-up shop operated by Katie Friesen for three years inside Moto Delicatessen & Bodega , plans to open a full cafe in the same building as the former Spokeasy bar that burned two years ago.

State Center College District trustees might choose new chancellor at board meeting
State Center Community College District trustees will soon consider appointing a new chancellor to succeed Carole Goldsmith, who retired in late September following nearly a year of public controversy. The finalists are down to Alan Davis and Christine Holt-McDonald. Davis has a chemistry background and spent most of his professional life in Canada, and Holt-McDonald was named SCCCD’s deputy chancellor in 2025, working directly under Goldsmith. The agenda for tomorrow’s board meeting notes that trustees will discuss appointing a new chancellor during closed session, followed by a conference with a labor negotiator. The open-session portion of the meeting is slated to involve trustees considering whether to enter an employment agreement with the new chancellor as well. The previous chancellor, Carole Goldsmith, was appointed in Nov. 2021. Four years later, hundreds of faculty members declared they had no confidence in her leadership. A few hours before this vote of no confidence, Goldsmith announced that she was retiring in Sept. 2026. The SCCCD later disputed the reported timing of her retirement announcement.
