"Incidents like this are an important reminder of how crucial awareness is especially at intersections," the CHP Fresno office said in a post on social media. "Whether you’re behind the wheel, on a bike, or walking, stay alert. Always check your surroundings and never assume others will stop. Take the extra second to look both ways. And remember: being able to hear sirens from emergency vehicles can save lives, including your own. Keep the volume down, avoid distractions."
